    Yeah, I'd like one for boost. Econ gauge is useless to me. Please hurrrrrrrry!

      I would think that a gauge at LEAST to 20 psi would be good, but a gauge to 30 psi would be better as it covers MOST boost pressures we run on a BMW engine, above that are some super crazy engine builds in my opinion.

        I'd be down for a vac to 20psi gauge, ready to throw you the cash asap

            boost gauge to 20psi would be most ideal here.

              0-30psi would be ideal. Most people will be running > 10 which would put them above 1/3 of the usable range (similar to a coolant temp gauge on the cluster). i dont see it being useful having the gauge near the max of the usable range at all times.

                I'd rather it go to 20 as my compression ratio is limiting my boost lol. It would feel lame to only have the needle reach half way up the gauge at full boost.

                  Vac to 2.0 bar. Do you have any idea when it will be available?

                    Any updates on this? I'm sure most people are excited over the boost gauge, but honestly, I'm interested in the oil pressure gauge.

                      Yup a boost gauge is for the passengers. oil pressure/temp is much better.

                        I just want to see it made period, either way would be cool, but since I already have oil temp and pressure, a boost gauge is more useful. It shows if you are getting any creep or have a leak.

                              I would LOVE to have an oil temperature gauge!

                              Let me know when they are ready, money waiting.

                                Up to 20psi please! I'd even help fund a kickstarter for this if needed.
