About my new autometer boost gauge

[3134]

I just bought a autometer ultra lite boost gauge and it goes up to 60 psi and has no vac. I got a decent deal on it so that is why I bought it. I have a small 16g turbo and do not plan going bast 21-22 psi. Is this gauge not good for me to have and should i get another one or just install it??

Going all the way to 60psi is going to be less precision for measuring 0-30psi.. I'd sell it and get a 30/30 Vac/Boost gauge. I got the Autometer Cobalt 30/30 for $69 at egauges.com - but they have the Ultra Lite 30/30 Vac/Boost for $52.

That guage is actually called a blower gauge. It is used in cars producing more than 30 psi of boost. Just race cars. Top fuel, etc. No need for it with the use of a 16g, or any street car for that matter
