Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Boost Gauge/Twin Turbos

[TrqMonster]

I have been looking at boost gauges trying to find one over 60 PSI, hopefully in the near future I will be getting twins. I was wondering how people measure their boost since I have heard that they get like 80 PSI and above.

Are there gauges that measure that high or is there some other method. I looked a Geno's and others at boost gauges, cant find over 60.



Thanks in advance

I believe isspro makes a gauge that reads to 100psi if desired. And I believe they have even large versions if you call them.

I think some use guages called Manifold pressure gauges, which work the same but just are not called turbo boost gauges. a blower gauge will work to, as well as a regular old air compressor gauge, however it may be inaccurate and slow responding.

I have a 100 PSI Autometer for manifold boost and used my old 60 pound gauge for the Big turbo only.

Nordskog gauges makes a nice 100 psi boost gauge http://www.nordskogperformance.net/products/auto/proanalog/detail/d7016.htm . Also Stewart Warner is coming out with a 100 psi boost gauge to be available Jan. 2005 http://www.sw-performance.com/Prods/51bop.html . I could of sworn that Autometer made a 100 psi Blower Pressure gauge. I only see 60 psi boost and blower pressure gauges. They do have a 0-150 psi air pressure gauge that could probably be utilized as a boost gauge. -Glen

Right now Im using a Numatics 0-150psi pressure gauge. It seems to be fairly accurate.

thanks for the help. Never heard of Norskog but that guage looks really sweet, like I want it now and dont really need it yet.

The Nordskog gauges are more widely seen in the marine market. They are definitely a quality product. -Glen

I agree. I have used nordskog's in the past and they are awesome. For marine apps, I prefer Livorsi gauges (used to be graffig). Check them out also, they also do some pretty neat color options as well as awesome GPS speedos. I think it is livorsimarine.com, but i could be wrong.

Isspro will custom screen whatever you want on a gauge. Pick any pressure gauge and have it say "manifold pressure. "
