injection system bar range?

How do you determine bar range for an injection system? For the Ford sensor packs they range from 2 to 5 bar.

1 bar is for naturally aspirated engines.  2 bar is for engines with up to 15 pounds boost, 3 bar for 30 pounds boost, 4 bar for 45 pounds boost, and 5 bar for 60 pounds boost.  You can use a 2 bar sensor for a naturally aspirated engine, but you will only be using half the pressure range of the sensor.  1 bar is equal to one atmosphere of pressure.

Cool that's easy enough, I did not see a 1 bar kit but maybe as you said it is a uni-kit. Thanks Jay
