why do imports measure boost with "BAR" and we measure boost with "PSI?"?

[QUOTE="GR8WHITE, post: 426365, member: 39"] Maybe yours, not mine though. ;-) I think they measure in BAR's so you don't know they are running 29.4 PSI . It's easier to keep your highly elevated boost levels hidden from people this way. FWIW 1 bar of atmosphere is = to 14.7 PSI. In theory to double your cars HP, provided the intake and exhaust flow enough, you need to add 14.7 PSI Take this one step further. If your stock $30,000 + Evo VIII makes 276 bhp on 19PSI, you'd have to run [b]33.7+ PSI[/b] to make 552 bhp:lol: 1997 Cobra FRPP shorties,Bassani X with cats, Vortech @ 8 PSI everything else was stock! 423 RWHP! Figuring 15% driveline loss that is 500+ bhp All this and still well under $30,000 [/QUOTE]
