Boost Gauge

Will I ever get up the 30psi on the boost gauge? About to buy some gauges and was wondering if I need to go with the 30psi or 40.

Not on the stock turbo. Its only good to about 25 psi. You could get higher, but its not a good idea since thats really pushing the turbo past its limit.

If you plan on doing some big mods in the future, then go with the 40, otherwise 30 is fine.

Up to you -- I think it looks better to use the AIH plug. There isn't any difference in the measurement from either place.

I go for the plug since, we don't need the AIH anyway. I have a early 99 and ford didn't start putting AIH on untill late 99.
