Boost gauge needed

[faststangbk]

Is a boost gauge necessary when putting on a kb. I really do not care to know how much boost I am running after my tune so dident think it would be a big deal to not have one

Eh it's not that important, but personally I like to know exaclty what's going on with the car. They aren't that expensive, and pretty easy to install. I would invest in one.

Exactly. I spent pretty much all I had on my whole blower setup and wasn't going to buy a boost gauge since I was running low boost. Then I had to give in and spent the money on a gauge and pod for it, just because it didn't feel right without one.

I got an autometer Z-series for like $40 and the autometer steering column pod for $30. Cheapest way to go.

Vac/boost gauge would be a good purchase. Noticing an abnormal drop in vac could be a sign of a potentially engine damaging hose leak.

Any pictures of that steering column pod..?

I have an autometer phantom that was used for about 6 months..
You can have it for 40.00 shipped if you need one..

Just like these guys said, Half the Fun is watching the boost build.....
