If I am remembering correctly 1Bar is almost equal to 15PSI. So 0.6 Bar is half of 1 Bar basically so around 7-8PSI give or take.

Now I know the T5's and R's where the HPT (High Pressure Turbo) models in the Volvo lineup. I don't know if the T4 is a HPT model or not. Lets say it isn't for right now 7-8PSI or 0.6 bar sounds about right.
