I am getting ready to order my boost gauge and I noticed they make both a 20psi and a 30psi gauge. I will only be running about 12-15psi and will probably never go much higher. However I read that you want the normal operating range of a gauge to be in the middle, so anyways which gauge should I go with.
Thanks.

i have a autometer sport comp mechanical vac/boost gauge, it only goes to 20# of boost. i have been happy with it ,i also plan on running that same amount of boost in the future, i didn't think about a 30# boost gauge being better at those levels of boost.

Personally if I where you I would go with the 20 myself if I where you, JMO...
I have a 20 and it works just fine, no reason to get a 30 unless you’re really going to need it.

i also run a vac/boost gauge combo.i went with the 20 psi gauge.the graduations on the gauge are bigger and are a little easier to read under hard acceleration.
