> 14.714 psia to 1 bar.

That is the conversion formula for Atmospere pressure to psi, strangely
enough I have 14.69594878 noted for this conversion.

The most imortant conversion factors:

1bar gauge pressure = 14.5psi (14.50377377)
1ATM gauge pressure = 14.7psi
100KPa = 1Bar

The boost display in the US cars use an absolute reading, 1.4 bar on the
display is really 0.4 bar gauge pressure. To convert the reading on the
display to PSI use (reading-1)*14.5).

I suggest getting Master Converter from http://www.savard.com/. Hard to live
without it.
