Oops! Which Boost Gage?
So if I'm running a PDR HX35 with a gated 14cm housing and 190 injectors (VE pump tweaked), which boost gage would be best suited? The 35psi or the 60psi?
I'm thinking the 35 is right but I'm not sure.

The 35 will do if you definitely aren't going any more...if you think you'll tweak your timing and fueling a bit more, go with a 50 or 60 psi guage.....
I ended up buying 3 guages till I finally broke down and bought an AutoMeter 60lb blower guage.
Even with that, I have pushed it as high as 57psi when testing a hybrid turbo....wooohooo...
Oh, and yes, it was and still is the stock/original head gasket too....god was with me on that one I think ....

Bushy if Piers will keep that sale price through spring, I plan on some PODS before trout opener...... Turbo maybe this fall.... Now I wish I would have gotten the 60 PSI gauge.
