Boost gauge PSI or BAR

[matty_fr]

Hi guys,

Should I get a boost gauge that shows PSI or BAR? I've got a Cupra 180 and not sure what boost they run standard, also might get it mapped further down the line and I know some of the gauges only go up to a certain psi.

i think the lc180 are around 9psi peak if im not mistaken. and peak to around 13 on stage 1 maps and 20/22 on srage 2. mines running 13psi peak on a 20psi max gauge.

Cool thanks mate, I'll just get a PSI one then.

mine was from ebay. was a kit for the cupra at around £18 but has a swivel dash mount pod.

I've always liked the digital Prosport Evo ones mate, so was gonna ask my GF to get me one for xmas. Not sure where to get the pod though, would prefer one that matches and blends in with my trim.
