hey guys should i get a 20psi or a 30psi boost gauge?

still undecided about turbo upgrade and right now im on neuspeed 1.2b which means ill only need the 20. but what IF i upgrade turbo? then ill need the 30 right? and bust a jet with 28psi!

so pick one.. 20 or 30

Get 30... look further...

well one reason i said 20 is that it looks cooler to have your needle be pushing the limit all the time.

if you get 30 and never get a big turbo, when you floor it it'll only go a little more than half way and other people will be like "wow what a weak turbo, cant even use the guage"

but then when you have a 20, even if you are boosting more than 20 people will be like "wow is your turbo gonna explode cuz its pushing so hard?"

hahaha but im just stupid...shoot i'd get a 15psi guage =P

Watching the pressure spike is way "cooler" than pegging the needle. I'd go with the 30 ;-)

Go with the 30, if you do upgrade you wont need a different gauge.

**hyperspeed** · 08-08-2004 11:13 AM

looking at the pic of the gauge.. doesnt it look like it still boosts up to 30 psi?

**madrussian** · 08-08-2004 12:01 PM

30 and make sure you get vacuum... i had one w/o and it looked bad imo...

**fongaroos** · 08-08-2004 02:08 PM

30 psi with the vac...

works fine and its so fun to watch the boost gauge!!!

regardless of whether you get the 20 or 30... you'll LOVE IT!
