Anyone know of a gauge thats accurate and reads past 30psi up to around 40lbs?
TIA,
Ernie

 

Everyone around here are running these now.

Done. Thanks Chrispeed!!!

 

Good gauges for the most part. We've sold quite a few along the way.

Ernie,

I bought this exact one below last year for under $50 online. I like the stewart warner gauges but mine was a 1lb or 2 off when I compared it to my TEC3 readings. Also, not that it matters, but with the car off I read roughly 2 psi of boost sort of what this one is doing. I think SW is the only one that reads 40psi and has a vacuum area as well, thats what I found when I searched. I also bought a cage mount which is pretty cool. you might have to get the same.

When I upgraded the map sensor to a 4bar (supposedly 4bar but really 4.5 bar) I charted all my readings manually. I pumped say 10psi into the system and wrote down the reading on the TEC3 since it was not an actual 4 bar. I used the boost guage to get my readings. Just to make sure I Tee'd in another boost gauge with the stewart warner one and saw the difference. They are great gauges for the price though and was only about 2 psi off. Just to be sure again, I called Dee and asked for his readings and mine were a little off. Turns out that we had the same map sensor, so I went off of his readings rather than the ones from the SW boost guage.

When I increased the pressure in the line to 40psi I had about 3 vacuum hoses pop off including the one from boost guage so it is also a good test to make sure all is ok before making a pass on a dyno. You can even hear the slow leaks etc...

Thanks guys! You are right, this is the only gauge I could find that reads to 40psi.

 

Choose the 40 psi or 60 psi model.
