Default Boost gauge question

Well today i finally installed my blitz dual turbo timer. the one with a boost gauge. and i was wondering what hkPa means? Also if anyone else has this, can you change the background color?

1 bar=14.7 psi, so if you are running 1 bar you should by right around 15 pounds of boost.

You should peak about 11ish, & taper around 9-10psi till redline.
However air intake temp can change the boost a little. So if it's really cold out it will be lower, & if it's hot out you will run a little more.

just multiply your reading to 14.5. that will be your reading in psi from hkpa. i have the same turbo timer as you, it's amazing. you can't really change the background light, but there was a guy on ebay who sold turbo timers after he changed the led lighting to match the audi red interior lighting. the peak boost hold option is really nice i think. that way you can just go WOT and check your boost later. and i'm currently pushing 1.51 hkpa.... or 21.9psi

Hey Hano, you know the bars at the top of the boost gauge? the ones that jump? What do yours say when your idling? mine sit around 4-5 at an idle. I was wantin to make sure i ran it to the right line.
