Boost Gauge

Ok guys I just installed the three gauge pod with Pyrometer, Trans temp and Boost gauge. The truck is a 2003 7.3 and has 4 " exhaust, AFE filter and box and supertuner. My Boost gauge which is autometer reads as follows.

Idle 0

Taking off slow from stop 5-7

Half throttle 10-12

Full trottle max reading about 19-21

Are these similar to your readings?

It seems to take alot to get the gauge moving.

Just one comment on a boost gauge.
Alot of money for one extra gauge and its purpose is really minimal.

that sounds about right, if you want to make a little more boost(and power) disconect the waste gate if you havent done so already. it is the red plastic line that plugs into the gold canister on the back of the turbo. just make sure to plug the end of the red line, most people stick it on a bolt (like on one of the bolt ends on the intercooler boot clamps)

Shaker,

Yes it seems like a lot of money for a minimal gauge but I tell you what, it'll be the first gauge to tell you something is not working right.
