Which boost gauge should I get?

I am going to buy a set of gauges and I am looking for some input on what boost gauge I should get. Specifically which pressure range should I get? 0-30, 0-40, or 0-60, Thanks for the input!

Do you plan on doing injectors and a turbo upgrade? If not then 0-30psi will do just fine.

if your just doing a chip you wont see over 30 psi, if you plan on doing injectors/ turbo get the 0-40 but if not its pointless just makes the gauge harder to read for like a pinpoint reading.

Isspro 0-40psi... Will work for most mods and gives a good range.

Another vote for the 0-40, I got the 0-30 and wished I didn't but then again I didn't think I would be building either.
