Surprisingly no offers lately other than a turbo S2000. Stockish S2000 would've done it though.

Willing to see what people would offer. PM for bottom dollar price!

Why does it have a boost gauge that goes to 25psi?

Usually boost gauges go to at least 25psi

I'm just guessing, but a supercharged car like that probably only uses about 5psi.

You are correct the car is boosting like 7psi, however, most boost gauges on the market are scaled to 25psi at least. Find one that's not.

it would seem like it would barely be registering on that gauge and make it hard to notice subtle changes in boost.

i use the zeitronix gauge for this very reason. what you've got is like have a oral thermometer that reads to 200 degrees...

Haha it's true .... Running super low boost on a large guage is pretty useless

The car has never over boosted so it's not like a priority for one to monitor the boost non stop and see like .5 incriments or something.

However, I feel it's important to monitor the boost closely. Especially on low boost cars like ours. If my car is boosting 4psi instead of 5psi, a) that's a big difference and b) i know there is a leak somewhere. That's why I went with a digital gauge because the analog gauges read too high and couldn't give me enough detail on such a low boost car.
