Default Power Fc Boost readings VS Boost Gauge

I have a little problem with my boost readings and i need some help.
I have a Power FC in my car and the boost readings on 1.00 - 1.02bar, but my boost gauge (autometer carbon series) reads 18-19 psi. The car dont give me the feeling for 19 psi.
Any ideas?????

gauges are rarely spot on accurate.. plus the pfc reads in kg/cm2 not bar.

I haven't measured against a calibrated gauge etc.. but not far out..

I think a kg/cm2 is something like 1.01bar or something silly.. but may make your gauge only something like 2psi out etc..
