I would like to add a PSI value into into my ADX, it currently has the number displaying in KPA but i would like to be able to see it as a PSI reading also.

I just dont know what the equation would need to be
the one for KPA is (X * 0.781) + 8

What would i need to have here for the PSI value ?

enclose the whole lot in brackets and multiply by the conversion factor from kpa to psi, which is 0.1450

so your saying it should read

((X * 0.781) + 8) * 0.1450

Because it doesn't appear to be right when i play the log back

well if you want boost psi you will have to minus the atmospheric pressure off of it. so more like (((X * 0.781) + 8) * 0.1450) - 14.50

this is what I use for a 3 bar map sensor to get boost PSI

X * 0.177 - 14.185

Thats a bit more simple what would you use for a 2bar

The easiest option (and the best for the least rounding error) is what Jayme suggested. If you want to simplify it the calc is...
2 Bar = (X * 0.113)-13.54
3 Bar = (X * 0.177)-14.381

yeah I only use it with zero decimal place, I don't really care exactly what it is, just want to get an idea of what PSI its running when I change wastegate springs and the like.

Thanks for that info, I guess I could have worked it out but was a bit unsure what most of the values where for.

Will certainly be accurate to 1 decimal place

You could also change the calc to reference baro, so you see the true boost pressure.
