    Difference between 'Turbos psi' and 'Superchargers lbs of boost'

     



    I see lots of people on other sites running turbochargers and they say they run 20psi. Whats the difference between a turbochargers psi and a superchargers lbs of boost?

    Is there a conversion? Ie. 10psi = 5 lbs of boost


    Thanks for any help.

    psi is pounds per square inch. lbs. is the abbreviation for pounds.
