Boost gauge?

[Kris K]

I'm looking to get a boost gauge for my truck. It's an 85 f250 6.9L with an ATS wastegated turbo. WHere's the best place to get a gauge. Only needs to go to 15 PSI.

I have their Di-procal stuff and love them.

Some stuff they have in their catalog doesn't show up online, so you have to call it in.

yeah the Di-procal Optix is sweet looking gauge!!! they will be my next gauges.

I also like Isspro too!


these guys have cheap gauges I bought some stuff from them with good results, but they don't carry Di-procal

Auto Meter makes a large variety of gauges as well, reasonably priced and easy to get from summitracing.com.

Give Kurt a call at Cruiser Outfitters, he's a local and supports the board.

I got my boost, tranny temp, and pyro from him. All Auto Meters.

I have no experience with the 6.9's, but 15psi sounds a little low for a boost gauge...especially with an upgraded turbo. Whatever you do, don't make the same mistake I did and get one you will outgrow. I never thought I would need higher than 35psi....

Boy was I wrong!

I went with Autometer for pyro, boost, and tranny temp. My tach is from Isspro and I'm not too fond of it. The Isspros all seem to have curved lenses which creates a really bad glare most of the time. Autometers have a perfectly flat lens and it seems to minimize the glare.

The norm for a 6.9 is 12 PSI. After thet you start blowing head gaskets. Atleast thats what I have read.
