Default 2 bar boost KPA?

How are you guys calculating boost off of the map? Tell me if I am doing this right. I am at 300 feet elevation so my map reads right at 100-101 while the truck is off. If I divide 101kpa by 14.5 (1 bar) I get 6.96. So for every 6.96kpa over 101 that is 1# of boost correct?

You are reading 100kpa at idle? Something doesn't sound right. How are you reading kPa?

Sounds like you're about right.

Remember were on an absolute scale. IE, sea level is around 100 kpa.....

He said it's 100kPa when the truck is off, not idling.
