FM boost gauge - upgrade?
I'm getting a dynotune on Thursday and my FM issued boost gauge is 20psi limit, does anyone have a suggestion of a compatible size gauge that will fit in their A-Pillar mount that will use the same line (if possible)? I don't expect the gauge will like being pushed over 20psi I'm looking for probably 30psi limit..

Oh wow, I really like those. I'll probably use them for boost, but I wish they had a combo gauge. Something like oil+water temp, so I could get a 3-gauge pillar mount for EGT, Boost, Oil+Water temp...

More options on the left on that page. I am going to buy 4 VEI's to fill my blanks since I have 6 spots and only two gauges. 2 duals and 2 singles. 8 real time engine monitors, holla

Ohhh. Those VEI gauges look good, they don't match my dash color scheme though hmm.
Was thinking they would be mounted on the A-Pillar in the following order, top to bottom;
EGT
Oil+Water temp
Boost / Vac
Not sure though. I need to find a 3-gauge mount..
Edit- The EGT gauge only goes to 1800°F, is that high enough? The ProSport goes to 2400°F in comparison..
Edit2- GWR seems to have a full replacement for a tripod mount for gauges.. I'll have to pick this up as well.

North of 400hp with a bigger turbo towards the end of the season or early next spring, for now I'll go 25psi or 300hp, whichever comes first. If I can, with this churbo of course.
Edit- On an unrelated note, I beadblasted the control arms today. Holy **** that stuff is a fight to get clean.

Spoke with a few guys at Vei, they offer an EGT+AFR gauge, it's just not on their website. Red 89 / Orange 99 / Blue 109, I think I'll get one. Just gotta get all these sensors and probes now, bah.
