target boost value question
Hello members;
I've logged via BT cable the Target boost pressure, it shows values like 1935.31 hpa, does anyone knows how much does it equal in psi? I tried converting it, it shows arround 27 psi wich is false...

absolute and relative pressure are different things...

with the JB4 interface it was so easy reading them because values were shown as psi and not hpa....

KPA edit: make sense now so, target boost is 1943.13 hpa wich is 28.18271793157015 psi and ambient is 14.7 psi @ level sea wich is 1013.5293220957487 hpa so its target boost - ambient = 13.7 psi correct?

I didn't clearly state what I meant to:
absolute = ambient + gauge pressure Your manifold is reading ~28 psi absolute, so 13.3 psi gauge which is what a boost gauge would show. I've never used a BT tool, but I'd be willing to bet it is giving you a reading in absolute
