Vacuum/booost Gauge Choices?

[Davidwm71]

What would the best choice for an aftermarket vacuum/boost gauge be? Vacuum to 20 PSI or 30 PSI? ... stock truck with aftermarket intercooler.

I do not see any benefit of a separate vacuum gauge and boost gauge. Is there any benefit to running separate gauges?

Thanks for any info.

The stock gauge is not very accurate.... My choice is the Autometer sport comp gauges

The one that goes to 20 or to 30 psi? I have been reading that the 30 psi is a better choice... is it necessary to go that high?

The one i got is 20low 30high, I dont know if you need to go that high unless you plan on running above 20 at anytime, as for better? the higher psi doesnt make it a better guage..Its just a better choice for the future if your going to run high boost

Get a SPA Tech dual gauge with boost and EGT readings. Those are the best... they have a memory for high boost and Temp.

Also you can put a delay on the readings from .01 to 19 seconds so you don't have to stare at your gauge while launching.

It has a nice green back lighting at night and many more options like warning lights that will flash with boost spikes and high temps.

But if you don't want to spend 250$ on a gauge then get the autometer vac/boost to 30 gauge with the carbon fiber inserts.

Yeah you proally won't get 30 lbs of boost when it does go that high you'll want to know about it.
