Boost Gauge Range
First thing I'm getting is 5" MBRP exhaust and gauges (A-Pillar), then cold air intake (route undecided, shouldn't hurt to try the 6637). Haven't decided what mfg. gauges, but ISSPRO and Auto Meter top running. I don't know what gauge range to get for the boost (0-30, 0-40, 0-35, etc.) which of course varies by mfg. I will be adding a DP Tuner soon afterward with 60T, 80E, and 120R.
After healing my wallet, I will be looking at HPOP, sticks and turbo (not at same time)
. Of course, the list is longer than my wallet so I need to pick and choose as I go.
Thanks for the help!

For anything with stock injectors, a 30 psi gauge works fine, 35 psi gauge with big oil and stock sticks would be recommended. However you mentioned you are also going to go with bigger injectors in the future. If that's the case, at minimum you'll want a 40 psi gauge. Depending on the size of injectors and other mods you go with, you may even need a 60 psi gauge.

I am leaning to 40 psi, by the time I go to turbo and big sticks, I can buy another gauge. I was also looking at a new waste gate control so that may raise my boost a little. Probably go with that after the tuner.
