If thats what the sensor reads then so be it, but 1 Bar is not 2.7psi. 1 Bar = 14.503psi, I have to do the conversion at work all the time on our german Krause Maffi machines.

factor in atmosheric pressure.

The standard atmosphere is a unit of pressure and is defined as being equal to 101.325 kPa. The following units are equivalent, but only to the number of decimal places displayed: 760 mmHg (torr), 29.92 inHg, 14.696 psi, 1013.25 millibars/hectopascal.

14.7psi is atomspheric at sea level. That is PSIA. All gauges, sensors, ect are all calibrated to what is called PSIG. It takes into effect atmospheric pressure so no you don't factor in atmospheric pressure. There is a constant 14.7 PSIA pushing down on you, me, everything around us.

Not arguing that it only reads 2.7psi.

I pieced mine together. Used piping and intercooler that i purchased from ebay then fabbed to work. Manifold from zzp. Turbo from ebay. Then custom fabbed the downpipe. AN fittings and braided line for return to pan, and oil feed with special ecotec adapter to the block. It was well under 2k.

If you aren't comfortable with fabrication go with a zzp kit.

im not really familiar with how the k04 regulates boost with the internal wastegate, isnt it just set as the same boost level in the SS?
