Reading Stock Boost Gauge

[jasont82]

hey guys

just bought a s2 r33. first turbo car ive had, love it. tried to search for this but couldnt find it. How do you read the stock boost gauge? Ive found out that stock boost is 6.6-7 psi. when looking at the stock boost gauge 7 is actually half way between 0 and 7 is that right? the gauge goes from -7 to +7 i assumed that +7 was 7 psi? is the stock boost gauge not in psi or what? im new to this forum stuff so if ive put this in the wrong section im sorry.

I'm lead to believe that the scale is "x100 mmHg". So +7 is 700 mmHg, which is about 0.9 bar or 13.5 psi of boost.
