    ? are you asking this :confused: , boost is intake man pressure. and atmo pressure in a na car is 14.7. you dont need that, your better offf with an a/f ratio gauge, it is more of a use for tuning na.

    in order to hook up a BOOST gauge i would think you would need BOOST

    why not at least go with a 'pointless' functional gauge??? like a volt meter or a temp gauge or something...

    but since when is a boost gauge just for looks??? this isn't a video game mang

    Why even hook it up if you are just doing it for looks? Just put it in your gauge pod.

    why not get a proper gauge that only reads vacuum? that will at least take away some of the laughs you'd get with a boost gauge in an NA car.

    as for wiring a boost or vac gauge, most of them are strictly mechanical so the only wires are for the backlighting.
