Boost Question

How much boost can i expect running stage IIs. Getting ready to order gauges and not sure which one to get 35max or 60.I know i won't be at 60 but didn't know about 35-40psi.Will also have tunes with the IIs.I was leaning toward the 35max for easy reading,just not sure if it is enough.Thanks!

When I bought mine I bought a 60 so I would not need a new one after mods.......I am not worried on accuracy or reading the boost gauge......I pay more attention to the egt and tranny gauge more than the rest

I agree with Joe, 0-50 would be the best but if you can get a better deal on the 60 you should get it. With stage 1's I'd see 32-33 psi so I bought a 40 lb gauge, then I switched to hybrid injectors and the boost went to 45 psi so now I wish I had got the 50 pounder.

I can pin my 35* gauge on with 2s and stock stick tunes. I'm waiting to get my chip back with new tunes to see what it will push
