yes, but the stock gauge doesn't measure atmospheric pressure at sea level, it merely shows the difference between pressure inside the intake and outside air.

so even if the atmospheric pressure were 10psi or 50psi outside, it would match the pressure inside the intake when the motor is shut off, giving you a 1bar reading. make sense ?
