0-30 PSI Range:
The 0-30 PSI range covers most turbocharged applications, from mild street setups to aggressive race builds. Most street turbocharged vehicles run 5-15 PSI, while high-performance applications may run 15-25+ PSI. The 30 PSI maximum provides adequate headroom for most applications while maintaining good resolution for accurate readings. The wide range makes this gauge suitable for various boost levels and tuning scenarios.
Mechanical Operation:
Mechanical boost gauges use a bourdon tube mechanism that responds directly to boost pressure - no electrical connection is required for the gauge function. This mechanical operation provides several advantages: simple installation (only boost line needed), reliable operation with no electronics to fail, and instant response to pressure changes. The mechanical design is proven technology that's been used in automotive applications for decades.
52mm Standard Size:
The 52mm (2 1/16") diameter is the standard size for aftermarket gauges, ensuring compatibility with widely available gauge pods and dash mounts. This standard sizing makes it easy to create a complete gauge cluster with matching diameter gauges. The 52mm size is large enough to read easily while being compact enough to fit in most installations.
Black Face with Silver Bezel:
The black face with white markings provides excellent contrast for easy reading in all lighting conditions. The silver bezel provides a classic, professional appearance that complements most interiors. The design is clean and functional, focusing on readability rather than flashy styling. The black face is a popular choice that matches well with other aftermarket gauges.
Bright Backlighting:
The bright backlighting ensures the gauge is easily readable at night or in low-light conditions. The backlighting illuminates the entire face, making all markings visible. The backlighting connects to switched 12V power, turning on with your vehicle's lights. The bright illumination is essential for monitoring boost during night driving or racing.
Compatible with Turbosmart Boost Control Valves:
The gauge is designed to work perfectly with Turbosmart's range of boost control valves, including their popular gated designs. The mechanical operation makes it an ideal companion for mechanical boost controllers, providing visual confirmation of boost pressure. The gauge can also be used with electronic boost controllers or wastegate-only setups.
