1bar = 14.5psi. so you're at about 10psi

run it at no more than 12. then up it on the dyno so you knows its ok and not pinging.

I was under the impression it was 14.7 also, so is it 14.5 or 14.7?

ah, the eternal arguement!

14.7psi is 1 atmosphere is 101.7kpa (memory is a bit sketchy on the exact number of that one).

1 bar = 100kpa.

On a boost gauge thats never been calibrated, the .2 difference doesn't mean shit anyway

Check fuel pressure and flow rate are OK before running extra boost. Leaning out will kill your engine.

not sure if it has anything to do with it.. (i got it on about 10 atm.. with a switch back down to 7).. ive got a weird problem in the lower power, when i start to speed up slowly say from 1500-3500 it feels like something is pulling me back or its not going as it should, then when i put my foot a little harder all the power comes as it should.. weird.. may be feul pump? but it does it on stock boost.. car still runs fine but thought that maybe something.. it started doing that after i got work done on it.
any ideas?
