does anyone make a low psi mechanical boost gauge?.. like 0-15psi (preferably) or 0-20. im running 5-7psi and i can barely keep tabs with my 30psi gauge. i did a search and couldnt come up with anything BTW

 

Um, Autometer does. Mine goes 0-30in/Hg - 0-20psi. Look on their website.

 

tried but i cant find the 0-20psi they all say 0-30 i really want 0-15psi... possible?

 

Jackson Racing has one. It's made by Autometer.

The JR gauge has a very short sweep. I personaly use an Autometer vac/boost gauge with a 20psi peak. It is a full sweep gauge.

 

what is "the JR gauge has a very short SWEEP"?

 

sweep.. as in the needle only moves along about half the face.

unlike normal autometer mechanical guages

 

 

thats the one I have^

easy to read IMO I like the straight USDM black face look to. They make one with a black bezel which I wish I had, summit is the only place I have found the all black one.

 

Go on ebay and search for boost gauges, ive had 3-4 of the auto gauge boost gauges and they work great, and didnt cost much.

yup that is what i am running

 

im only running 5-7psi i want to see the damn thing move i want a 0-20psi with a -10vac full sweep would be nice. does anyone make a boost gauge for low boost app. doesnt make sense not many people are in the 20psi range or the 15 for that matter.im going to have to put the gauge up against my eye... i dont need to see while i drive

 

i don't see the need for a guage that reads less than 20psi.

if you are running 5-7psi. then the 20 psi is perfect. you want to be in the middle of the range.. 0-20... 7 is pretty close

if you boost spike.. it will be very clear on the guage.

the 20psi guage makes you realize that you aren't running enough boost

 

having a boost gauge that reads up to 15psi is like having a speedometer that stops at 80mph. if you want better readings, invest in a larger diameter gauge, you could also get peak-n-hold gauge, or electronic boost controllers record peak-n-hold.. you won't always be able to keep an eye on boost gauge, but with peak-n-hold, you won't skip anything.

 

i have a 0-35psi boost gauge now with no vacuum so you can imagine why i want one smaller... 0-20 psi is very reasonable but i want one with no vac because it takes up most of the gauge -30vac-0-20psi instead of just 0-20psi.. i can barely ready the one i have now its ok but i want more accurate one (by accurate i mean me being able to see whats going on)
