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
