What boost gauge for high boost??

I am about to put together my full motor build with a fp black and I am planning to push that turbo pretty hard well beyond 30psi and my defi gauge does not read past 28 so i was wondering what gauge i could use I have the aem uego for afr and want to be able to somewhat match so i was thinking the aem true boost however i do not need a boost controller and from what i have been reading it will only read to 35 psi. Thanks for your input!

Aem makes a digital boost gauge you can choose a -30 to 35 psi or a -30 to 50 psi. It will match your uego perfect

Aem if you want to spend the money if you want to get cheaper and works great get the auto 0-45 boost with vac.

my autometer gauge used to be dead on with my 3 bar sensor but over the past year its no longer reading as high as its actually boosting so my vote would go towards a different brand. i probably would go with the aem digital if you can stand the constant number changing
