>>>>My shop manual shows turbo boost in kP(kilo Pascals)/cm squared. Then it
shows an equivalent in lb.ft./inch squared. (Yes, lb.ft., not foot-pounds,
as in torque.) For example, 0.8kP/cm^2=11.3 lb.ft./inch^2. Will a mechanic
have a gauge in kP? Or, is this somehow translatable to pounds/inch^2 of
pressure (turbo boost)?<<<<
The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa). It represents a force of one
Newton per square metre. You don't need to talk about Pascals per square
anything, because the force per area thing is built in. Obviously one
kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 Pascals.
I suspect that the lb.ft referred to in your manual may be intended to
represent pounds FORCE (as opposed to weight), usually represented as lbf.
To convert lbf/sq. in. into kPa, multiply by 6.895.
