"pedal on the right"
Default Boost Guage at high altitude

the stock 05 STI turbo should boost 15.5 psi , or .105 bars IIRC

on uphills in 2nd/3rd from 3500 to 6K i'm not seeing .105 , i'm seeing like .08 or .075 Is this due to being at high atitude ? since the guage also shows - .1 bar of vac ( - 14.7 psi)
Is basically showing a range from 0 to 30.2 30.2 is 15.5 psi + 14.7 (at sea level) ??? so that the less air pressure the lower total your boost will show OR should the display guage always be able to show .1 bars ?

I do belive i've seen .1 bars on my guage. before i installed my K&N and reset the ECU. (after which i babied the car big time, was hoping to see a big jump in my gas milage) i've read on a diff forum that how you drive directly after an ecu reset affects how it maps . This forum seems to have better expertise so figured i'de bounce it off the pros
