That one, the black limited, should read in kPa, psi, or bar

Reading that link, it says it that it measures in kPa. I have that boost controller and it cannot be switched to PSI readings.

^^Correct^^ It only reads in metric measurements. They used to have a PSI version, but that was discontinued. HKS just released the new EVC a week ago...here is a link. This one reads in PSI or metric.

The older EVC has been discontinued as well: http://www.forgedperformance.com/sto...cat=255&page=1

Hmm, I stand corrected then. I read that as meaning it could actually read to 250kPa/36.25psi/2.5bar and display it. But then rereading the top it states it has all the same features as the HKS EVC kPa Ver. 2...which indeed only reads in kPa.

I have the same boost controller. If you are used to BAR then kPa shouldnt be a problem. If its reading 60 kPa that is .6 BAR which is about 9psi. So basically what ever it reads add a decimal infront of the first two digits from the right.

ie: 123 = 1.23 BAR.

Hope this helps!
