I would just set it up yourself and not go by one turn = something. Take an air compressor and regulate the air down to the psi you want your switch to open or close. I have a 1-15 psi gauge to plug in the end of the air hose to get accurate reading. Then use some fittings so you can plug you hobb switch into the end of the hose. Use a meter to read across you switch contacts and adjust it till it either opens or closes at the set psi(depends on if you have a normally open or normally closed switch). I check it a few times by unplugging it and then replugging it in the air hose with the meter hooked up. The above has always worked well for me. May be overkill if you don't want a exact pressure setting though.
