Just ordered up a couple more things from MAP. Great prices thanks Chris!


Pro Sport Boost Gauge (30-0-30):

Depo Wideband Gauge/kit. Helluva price, never seen a WBO2 kit (w/ gauge) for this cheap before. And the gauge is a perfect match to the Pro Sports :) :

WOW that's a great price on that wideband. I'll have to keep that in mind.

Aren't you going to max out that boost guage :p

Good price indeed, although an AEM is only 10 bucks more now-a-days.

Yup, but on the Depo one, the gauge is the same as the Prosport, which is why I chose that. I'd like to keep all my external gauges as similar looking as possible, rather than having a hodge podge of different brands like I had in my Talon (SW, Greddy, Autometer, PLX...). Trying to keep it as clean looking as possible :D

Ha, yeah I hear ya. I actually spent a bit of time trying to figure out what to do because ideally I'd want a gauge that goes to 35 or 40psi. Problem is, I wanted to keep my gauges as similar as possible. So I didn't want to end up with another 40psi Stewart Warner, with some other brand WB, and a different brand EGT, and some other brand Oil Pressure. And I didn't want one that is boost only (no vacuum), so finding one greater than 30psi that also shows vacuum, with other matching gauges was hard. So I just settled on this as I will have a loggable MAP sensor in Megasquirt which will tell me my boost above 30psi. And I'm thinking since the gauge is mechanical, that if I go beyond 30, the needle will continue to wrap around. So I can see 35psi on the MAP sensor, and look at the gauge and just note to myself that "35 is when the needle is on the 's' in boost" or something, so I can still kinda know what's going on there :) I don't ever really plan to go much beyond 35psi. If that day comes, well then that may be the day I decide to go with a different boost gauge. But I forsee this one being just fine for me in the end :D

Great gauge, I've got the Amber version in my car. The thing I'll note is that you don't want to use the included tee, it's got a restrictor outlet that severely cuts down the responsiveness and accuracy of the gauge.

Noted, thanks :)

I run 37psi on my 30psi gauge, works out great, lol, just pegs at 30 the whole time.

I am in the same boat though, can't decide what to do for a gauge that reads up to 40-45psi and a matching AFR one to go with it...someday I will get around to buying that stuff.

AEM maybe? It's one I am considering, I think their gauge goes up to 35psi or one of theirs does.
