I hear you all the way. I run a couple of them in various cars, including the SD '88. I was just saying that I dont mind having a boost side on the gauge, even though I am N/A. As opposed to cars in the 60's, which sometimes came with stock vac (only, no boost side) gauges.89MustangGX said:I had a vacuum gauge in my orange car. As it turns out, they're still useful for tuning and diagnosing problems. Sure it's much easier to get the computer to tell you what's wrong -- but they still have some uses (especially without a computer!). It also makes people ooh and ahh when they watch it and don't know what it is.

Yep. My vac/boost gauge goes to 30" hg - more than enough. (just an FYI that a vac/boost combo should be more than enough. Look for more than a 20" hg max on the gauge being used).90mustangGT said:The vaccume gauge will have a wider range just for vaccume, while the vac/boost you will only be using half the gauge. Do you relize that having a boost area not being used could result in an itch to fill it.
