yeah the boost/vac gauges are like 25.00 at the parts places around my area. Straight up boost gauges can be harder to find. Would be my bet.

the boost/vac guage was free and at the time i had a low budget so it did wat i wanted it to do and now it leaks so its time for a new one and i am going to pick up a 60psi auto meter from a local drag racing shop it is only boost and i can get it for 35$
thanks everyone for the replys

i run a isspro boost gauage but you will pay a pretty penny for it but i always say if you buy cheap expect cheap so to me your better off saving some money and buying the right one for your vehicle
