guages

While at the parts store today, I was checking out guages. The only boost guage they have only goes up to 20lbs. of boost, from what I have read, that isn't enough. What is a good guage and where should I get it? Also, as far as guages go, can someone recommend which (3) would be the most highly essential ones to have? I don't really ever do any towing, just the occasional 2 horse gooseneck trailer or a hay trailer.

Thanks-

isspro is what a lot of user including me use. I would go with fuel pressure, pyro, and ect. I wouldnt worry about a boost gauge if you dont plan on tunning the truck. but if you want boost I would go with 0-60 gauge. the stock turbo is spossed to max out at 28lbs, but it dont cost anymore to have the 0-60 then it dose for the 0-30. why not go with the higher boost one that way if you are overboosting then you can see how much. I got my gauges from clay at riff raff diesel. he is a sponser on here and a great guy to deal with.
