Roughly 101Kpa per 1 atm (or 14.7 psi)

227 would be about 18 lbs of boost.

50 kpa would be about 14 inches of Hg.

Edit: found a good link

That's getting her done...most I've run is 15 lbs and that's on c16 since it's just got a base tune in it but it ran a lot harder than I would have thought that's for sure! 18 lbs I can't imagine how fast that would be!
