Hey man I'm the one that sold you the gauge awhile back. Post a pic man and show where the needle stops when you're boosting. Hope everything works out man!

You should find a new tuner

1 bar = 14.5 psi, so you gauge should read up to ~29psi.

For some reason 14.5 didn't sound right to me.. I was using my unit converter dashboard widget on OS X and that's what it said Oh well.

sorry but the other guy is correct, 1 bar = 14.5 psi. so the 2 bar gauge reads 29 psi. not that its that important, either way its way the hell more than 6 psi.
