Maxed out boost gauge
My boost is set at 30psi which is what my gauge reads. I'd like something that reads higher so I know that I'm not spiking to high. Anyway, anything above 30psi doesnt show vacuum, do I really need to be monitoring the vacuum? What about a bar gauge? let me know what you higher boost guys are using for gauges. Not worried about brands here, just wondering about what type to use

^not really, as far as making power is concerned. The only time I want to see vacuum as far as from a diagnostic stand point, is at idle. Ie if cam timing is out you'd have poor vacuum. Or if you had a vacuum leak.

Also on his setup. i have seen plenty of people running 30# on a stock turbo. see he is running E85? That makes a little bit of a difference then pump. I know a few with the same setup running the same boost running the same times.
