Cant Be

http://wiki.answers....vert_lbs_to_psi

You can't convert pounds to pounds per square inch (psi). One is force and one is pressure. If you know the area over which the force is spread, then you can divide the force by the area and get pounds per square inch (psi).

so it cant be 20psi

Yes it is. There is no conversion involved, they have just written pounds as a short form of pounds per square inch.

If Wikipedia is wrong, why don't you correct it? I usually do when I see an annoying error.

Its just a slip up on the site saying its a 20lb switch rather than saying its a uprated 20psi switch. and its always good to be sure of your facts as you put @clasics

I was going to get one of these, but didn't fancy adding another 20lbs (9.07kg) of weight to the car ;D
