Boost Gauge Q's

Ive got a 96 F350 PS and was wondering what psi range boost gauge to get. I dont want to go out and buy one and later find out its not going to be enough. Currently, I have a tymar intake ordered and in route, will have a TS chip ordered shortly and stage one injectors are just a few weeks way. I was thinking of a upgraded turbo housing or even a whole new turbo buts thats going to be a little while till i can swing those kind of funds. Will a 0-35 psi gauge be good enough or should I get the 0-60? As of right now I have no idea what kind of psi the truck should produce or even is producing. Thanks all

0-35 unless you plan on injects bigger then stage 1's then a 0-50 gauge will suffice.

get the 0-35.
i have all those mods and i can peg it if get into it. no need for anything bigger than 35psi. anymore than that and your turbo wont last too long.

isspro makes a 40psi....thats what I have

your ones will be capable of hitting 38-40 psi with the right tuning and
supporting mods, I would rather know that I am actually at 38 or 39
than just pegging a 35, but thats just me...

cost difference is minimal, as far as know, obviously there isnt a need for a 50 or 60 psi one, but why get one your gonna peg and not know?

not raggin on you others guys posts, cuz I know most of us have grown into
the boost ranges that were at, and thought back then that the 35 would be plenty, only to find out its not....
