ahaha yeah, I don't plan to use it for monitoring really as my eyes need to be on the road lol. I just want to be able to see it. The profec B will be able to tell me what I need to know as far as what my boost is set at. I just can't imagine not having a boost gauge- or having one that max's out at 25-30psi and then leaves me wondering

This is why you can log our 75 PSI MAP sensor or even setup alarm for over boosting. Keep your eyes on the road!

I just glance down at the boost real fast to see where its at, never really keep my eye on it, and then keep the wideband in the corner of my eye and both hands on the wheel trying to go straight..lol

lol those were my exact thoughts and also why my Defi gauges are coming out and going up for sale......i NEVER look at them really plus i hate the alarm going off every time i peg the gauge at 30psi +
Good to know what's out there though........

Yep my Defi just pegs past 2 bar then it's like it resets or something.
But +1 to the notion that you would actually look at the boost guage while driving at those boost levels. It's all about datalogs at that point anyway because your not only interested in a single number but the whole boost curve.
The only thing I pay attention to at those boost levels is the shift lights on my AIM dash.
But yeah I'd love if my Defi's read higher. Problem is, is if there is a guage as high quality as something like Defi that reads that high.

If there only was a super accurate temperature compensated 75 PSI MAP sensor, with logging capabilities and wide range of gauges and displays. Such accurate and fast responding 75 PSI MAP Formula 1 cars are using it. If there only was such thing....

The turbo smart e boost ebc also doubles as a boost gauge. They make two of them, one reads 40psi the other 60psi.
