Reading stock boost guage?? What do the numbers translate into?

Hey everybody, I just installed a factory boost guage and I was wondering how many pounds or psi of boost is at the .1 mark? I don't know how to translate it into psi. I searched and didn't find anything.

Divide stock gauge readings by 0.00689476 to calculate psi (pounds per square inch).

Example:
0.1 ÷ 0.00689476 = 14.503768078946910407323822729145 psi

I've got the stock boost gauge, and i'm kinda annoyed at the units. I'll probably get an imperial one by omori or defi or such. Do you notice that when the car is off, the boost gauge kinda sits on the very low side of 0? Mine does, and i've heard that some others do too. Another thing that i find annoying about the stock boost gauge.
