The is a feature in AutoEnginuity that says Exhaust pressure in is in units of inHg (mercury) looking to use this to tune my EWG when i get it here. 1 inhg =.491 PSI from my research.

So whats your question?

BTW, you do realize the .491 PSI is in absolute pressure... right?

Also hg is used to measure low pressure... negative / vacuum.

I don't know anything about your software, but I don't see how our exhaust will be able to use hg to measure pressure.

My question that i worded poorly was is exhaust press. The same as drive pressure.

yes... to a point.

Drive pressure is the pressure that builds as the exhaust is forced through the turbo, exhaust manifold, tail pipe, muffler, dpf...etc.

I guess my question is how close would the be if In stalled a Drive press gauge? If it is close I will just use it.

just a decent quality pressure gauge should be fine.

Does anybody make a drive pressure gauge? or do you just use a 0-100 PSI boost gauge? I just thought that Exhaust Pressure in AE would be the same as drive pressure?

Exhaust pressure is drive pressure... but to measure in hg is kinda backwards. I suppose it could be used but hg is typically used for measuring vacuum.

Are you sure the program wasn't referring to an intake manifold... which will have vacuum?

Have another that says manifold press. this clearly stated Exhaust Pressure.
