Sorry I didn't mention which car I was talking about, WRX. By the way, isn't it ironic the WRX have a Mitsubishi turbo? I think so anyways...

Mitsubishi's famous for small, high-response turbo's, like on our WRXs. Kinda like how Garrett pushes out the big ol' *****'s sometimes

Odd my boost gauge says .8 - .9 (approx.). I NEVER seen it go past 1 bar or even at 1 bar for that matter.

HOW DO I READ BARS?? Please send me a link. OMG THE AGONY!!

1 bar = how may PSI's?

According to this site, 1 bar equals ~14.5 psi.

Also, 1 bar equal ~0.98 atmospheres. I always thought 1 bar == 1 atmosphere, but I guess its not quite equal.

wrx ish is right about the model--td04.max boost is 14.2 psi in the wrx's.14.5 in the sti's.depending on alttitude that should read about .8-.9 bars.1 bar is atmosheric pressure which at sea level is 14.7 psi.so depending where you are you may see different pressures.
