Boost gauge question

Okay,
I think I need a translation table for the stock boost gauge. It's measured in MPa ... What do the numbers equate to in PSI?
So far, I love the car! But, because it's still breaking in, I've been very gentle with the throttle, and trying not to hit positive boost, when I'm getting close to a point where I stop. From what I've read, Subaru has a way of cooling the turbo, after the engine is stopped, and flipping through the manual, I see no mention of a cool-down period. This makes me a bit uneasy, but I suppose it's a relief to know it cools itself down, though I'm still vigilant in letting it sit idle for a min before I shut down. Any thoughts?

Mine is brand new too although I'm almost at 500 miles in under 7 days... haha
I haven't been as gentle, but I'm working on it... I too am curious as to the cool down... I'm thinking it's best to get a turbo timer
Although i do tend to let it run for a minute if I've ran it hard, just before parking.
As for how the gauge reads... I'm gonna have to look into this

Well if I remember my physics class and brake pressure estimations corectly, MPa is Megapascals. 1 Mpa is equal to 145psi since 100 kilopascals (KPa) or 1 BAR is equal to 14.5psi. Let me know if this sounds right since I have to wait another 10 months until I'll actually have my own WRX, I have to fnish college first.
