"bar" is a masurement of air pressure. 1 bar is atmospheric pressure.

1 bar = 14.7psi

EDIT: hahahaha, 3 posts and 3 different conversions, nice!

Re: What is the measurement "bar" for turbo? (cingham)

I keep a sheet like this handy in my car, the VAFC's readings are in kg/cm^2 not BAR.

VAFC Reading(kg/cm^2) = PSI
.035 = 0.5psi
.070 = 1.0psi
.105 = 1.5psi
.141 = 2.0psi
.176 = 2.5psi
.211 = 3.0psi
.246 = 3.5psi
.281 = 4.0psi
.316 = 4.5psi
.351 = 5.0psi
.387 = 5.5psi
.422 = 6.0psi
.457 = 6.5psi
.492 = 7.0psi
.527 = 7.5psi
.562 = 8.0psi
.597 = 8.5psi
.633 = 9.0psi
.668 = 9.5psi
.703 = 10.0psi
.773 = 11.0psi
.843 = 12.0psi
.914 = 13.0psi
.984 = 14.0psi
1.00 = 14.23psi

Re: (TTWS6.)

damn, you people are stubborn

14.69595psi = atmospheric pressure
14.50377psi = 1bar
14.22334psi = 1kg/cm^2

I have been repeating this same info for 4+ damn years!!
