I wanted a BIG boost gauge and one that only went to 15lbs so that it would be easy to read. Couldn't find one I liked so I used an Auto Meter 15lb fuel pressure gauge. (Pressure is Pressure) if this thing can hold gas it will hold air. Then I installed that electric Turbo Smart boost controller in such a way that I think it will give me an over boost condition for a second or so when I wack the throttle and I mounted the high low switch above the tank. Then I installed a little red light on the dash that comes on when the secondary fuel pump comes on so that I know the electric fuel pump is working. (This will happen around 3-4lbs boost) Heres the best part, The boost gauge says Fuel pressure, the little red light is out of a Rino that my dealer gave to me and it has the 4 wheel drive symble on it and I put the safety lock cover on the high/low switch for the boost controller. Now if anyone asked the gauge is just fuel pressure, the little lite on the dash just comes on when its in 4 WHEEL DRIVE, and the switch on the dash locks in the hubs for EXTRA TRACTION :ORC Gotta have some fun I figure 8)

Fever,
I LOVE your gauge. Keep us posted on how it works. I may be switching. Is it a 2 1/16 gauge?

It's an Auto Meter 2 5/8" 15psi model 5810 Phantom. Hell this thing is so big and easy to read even the guys your passing will be able to read it :shock: And that little 4x4 lite, when it comes on it will pull in the powder like it is in 4 wheel drive, and if the powder gets real nasty and you flip the boost switch to high it will be like you locked the hubs in. All in All they serve a purpose but they will make great conversational pieces on the trails and hills. This is what happens when I drink too much and work on my sled 
Snowfever I think I may have your solution it is a 2 5/8" Vacuum/Boost gauge that goes from 30hg -0- 15 psi that is availble in either silver face w/ silver bezel or white face w/ black bezel or black face w/ silver bezel or you could cet a seperate bezel and paint it yourself maybe blue if your sled is blue or red or whatever. The best thing about it you could backlite it with a blue or red LED light The straight boost gauge is availble in 2 1/16 that goes from 0-15 or 0-30 psi I will post a pic of mine when I get I done. I have all these in stock.

4Kops, I saw the gauge with the vacum on it but I don't need to know about vacum. Vacum is negetive pressure and I'm trying to stay positive about this whole thing :mrgreen: Just kidding, the gauge I have shows the 15lbs on the entire gauge so the numbers a bigger and alot further apart. Its not that I'm blind (I do where glasses sometimes but I only need them for seeing) I just figure with this gauge you'll probably be able to read it with your perefreal vision. Buckeye, next year I might do the rods, cams and pistons and if I do I'm getting a 40psi fuel gauge to read my boost :shock:
