Morning,

Not sure about the controller but kPa usually refers to Kilo Pascals, which is an alternative pressure measurement scale.

1bar = 14.5psi = 100kPa


1 psi = 0.06895 bar
1 bar = 14.50326 psi
1 psi = 6.8948 KPa

Sounds like the kPa alarm setting is too low for the boost you want to run.



Hope this helps.

Better talk to the other lads reushing the envelope, but sounds like your alarm setting is at 1.52 bar/152kPa.


Can there ever be too much boost :muhaha:
