So I could be boosting 11psi right now instead of 9. But I wouldn't know that because the needle looks like it's only 2psi below 0 which would give me a theoretical 9 using your method. The point is, I don't want to have to do conversions in my head. That's why I bought what I thought was a more accurate gauge in the first place. Dyin' ain't much of a livin'.
