Stock turbo gauge readings

[All8up]

I'm curious to see what other owners have been getting. My car only has an Injen CAI on it at the moment and my gauge is reading nothing higher than 0.5 @ 6k rpms in 3rd gear, I've seen it creep up only a bit higher. I'm suspecting the gauge is off.
What is everyone else getting?

Um .5 bar or .5 psi

I've seen an aftermarket turbo guage hit 14 psi in 3rd which is about right...if you're talking .5 bar thats only about 7 psi so something is wrong there maybe a loose connection.

Yeah it is 0.5 Bar. Maybe I should ask what is everyone's stock turbo gauge reading at 4k in 3rd gear.
Thanks

That's about right. From what i understand first gear is set for about 9psi. the rest i'm a lil foggy on. but as you go up on gears the factory settings are set only as high as 12psi or 12.5psi

max factory boost in third gear is 14.5 psi.

9 in 1st, and slightly higher in second.

check all your connections.

I too have the stock/factory turbo gauge (dash mounted) and have been able to reach the ".1" in third gear.

Fun Facts (though this has been posted elsewhere):

1 Atmosphere = 14.6959 psi
.1 MPa = 1 bar = 14.5037 psi = 29.6 in mercury

I'm pretty sure that "MPa" means MegaPascal (1,000,000 Pascals) and that Pascal is Newton/Sq Meter.

If any of this is wrong please feel free to correct me.
