I am getting ready to order a boost gauge (if it snows tomorrow -$). I can't decide between a 35 psi or a 60 psi unit from Autometer. I plan on running 370's and delivery valves in the spring, along with a hybrid kit from HTT turbo. I know that running a stock turbo up into the 30+ psi isn't good for longevity, what about the hybrid kit, will it make the turbo able to handle higher pressures? I also *may* run a water injection kit depending on how bad egt's are. How much boost would you folks assume I would have with the injectors, DV's and hybrid turbo? I only want to buy a boost gauge once... If it's worth anything, it's my daily driver and will pull 4-12K+ around in the summer, as well as sled pulling, so it has to be somewhat reliable. Thanks in advance!

 

I assume it will be a Hybrid 35/40 you will probably want 60psi guage I think you would be pegging a 35

 

You will want the 60,I can max out a 35 with only what I got done.

 

60

 

Another vote for 60. I think that you will find it easy to bury a 35 with those mods.

Excellent! Thanks for the advice. I was just worried about having a gauge that only used the bottom 1/3 or 1/2 of it, but I guess it will be different

 

Oh yeah, you will probably be peaking near 50 psi with the set up you want!.......you will need that 60 psi gauge for sure!
