Boost numbers

I just bought a Greddy Boost gauge, and its the JDM style so i have to do some calculations to get the "american psi." So was wondering if anyone knew what it was. I heard 1.0kg = around 14.5psi..

If the gauge states the measurement in kg/square centimeter (cm), then here is a java-enabled conversion page that gives the boost pressure as 14.22334 lbs/sq. inch. See the 'Pressure/Stress' section of the conversion page.

If you haven't installed the gauge yet, consider getting a different gauge with standard boost pressure that you can read at a glance. I have the factory gauge pack that measures boost in MPa (megaPascals) or something like that and doing mental conversions while driving at less than full boost gets old.
