I'm amazed

G/day Guys I'm amazed some body's taken the time to study the graph, I nearly wasn't going to bother posting. Two points - Because it's a high end race car data logger, the boost starts at atmospheric which is 1 bar, so it's only maxing at .8 bar or 11.8 psi. - the terminolgy used is ambiguous. It c...
