    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!

    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?
