0-30 or 0-60 Boost gauge?

You will have to excuse me....My old IDI with the hypermax kit would hit 12-13 PSI max.

What level of boost gauge do I need for this 24 valve? I may eventually upgrade to a larger turbo, but that will be a year or so down the road. It will have a comp box, exhaust and air intake on it soon.

0-30 PSI or 0-60 PSI?

which one do I need?

Thanks.

60 as a minimum. Depending on what you plan for HP you may want to consider a 100. Some of the 500+ hp trucks and those with twins are seeing boost pressures as high as 73lbs.

60. You'll end up seeing 30lbs soon enough, and it's nice to have that reading somewhere in the middle of the gauge.

I have a 0-35 psi.

With EDGE EZ, 275 injectors, intake and exhaust I see 20 PSI, maybe 30-35 PSI with the boost elbow.

With just the box I could hit 30psi of boost. After installing the Injectors, I can now hit 45psi of boost. Get the 0-60 gauge. I have the Autometer Z-series, pics in gallery.
