    High pressure boost gauge?

    Not sure if it belongs in this section but couldn't figure any better place

    Does anyone know of a high pressure boost gauge? All the ones that I'm finding only read up to 30psi.

    sounds like you need a train steam pressure gauge!

      need some specs on the gauge and may be able to help out..

      what size gauge (diameter etc)
      electrice or mechanical??
      what pressure ?
      specific style of gauge or anything???

      There are heaps of gauge manufacturers out there...

          Thanks gavin - the ones I found were all over US$200

          I should have added the word 'affordable' my OP since the 30 psi gauges are far less than that.

            Speedhut have nice electronic gauges - in range of diam and pressures psi and bar.
            Fullly customisable to suit you tastes.
            Boost range: Gauges - Speedhut

            They also do 0-60psi

            I'm very happy with them.

              I know I've seen this done but is there any way to get boost pressure in MFD apart from buying a kufatec BT unit?
