Re read the post I said a minimum of 60. I wouldn't get anything less because you know the mods don't stop and if he grinds the fuel plate to the profile of a 100 the motor will make more than 35 psi with a stock turbo. Usually the below 0-60 is 0-35. I would rather by the gauge one time even though I might not hit 60. If I would have settled on the 35 psi I would be pegging the gauge all the time.

My EGT gauge goes to 1500 and the was the highest reading gauge a person could purchase in 2000.

I tow as well and if I start seeing 1300 I back out of the fuel.

if your leaving it stock i still would bother getting a 60 since anything over 35 is wasted anyway, i ran a 35 gage for years even with an aftermarket turbo anything over 35 isnt effeicent unless you have a big turbo

You know that once they are bitten by the extra fuel the turbo purchase isn't far behind. If I was just starting on mods I too would purchase the 60psi gauge along with an EGT gauge.

depends on the person and what the truck is used for. theres a good ole boy hear with no guages running a 215 pump, lazer dvs, 370 ddp3 injectors with just a pyro and stock wh1c turbo(which is smaller than the hx35) all he does is tow his 37' toyhauler to camp sites
