I had to ditch my -30/0/30psi peak & warn Prosport boost gauge for an Autometer Phantom because it reads up to 45psi and still has vacuum!

You guys really need to make a boost gauge that still has vacuum and reads up to 45 or 50psi. Id say 85% of the Evo community runs more than 30psi in their setup and having the gauge still show vacuum is a huge plus.

I agree 1000% I wish they would make them as well. vacuum and read up to 45-50psi and also have the peak warning and peak hold. I gave up those features by going to the evo series. I constantly check and log my car anyways so I was willing to give it up for the look of the evos. However, I still want those features.

Why would you want it to read under-PSI? It's far safer for it to overshoot the value than to undershoot it. If you're dialing in a MBC based on a boost gauge and it's reading 2 PSI under, then you will be running 2 PSI more than you think; always better to run less than more.

I think 85% is a bit high for that estimate, i'd say more like 20-30% runs more than 30PSI

Very few shops offer that I found out as I was trying to figure what gauge to get after getting rid of my Defi's. I have an old skool blitz FATT and I think it reads vacuum. That and I got the AEM tru-boost with the 65 PSIA sensor since I could find anything nice looking going over 30 PSI but at the same time showing vacuum.
