Yeah, autometer..
They have ones that are just straight boost, and have ones that are set at the middle, with vacuum and boost. I need to exchange mine, becuase mine goes all the way up to 30psi.. I need the 20psi, so i can read it more clearly..

The vacuum gives an indication of engine integrity, be it rings, vac. hose or valves. Normal Hg reading is approx 18-22. A reading towards 0 may indicate that you have problems. I would get a Vac/boost combo.

vac/boost. Shave the needle slighty if you can't see the reading accurately enough. Ghetto fix. The backlighting/needle combination also makes a difference. Orange kinda blurs in my eyes.
