Benefits of Boost Gauge???

[LHMissions]

What are the benefits of having a boost gauge?

What does it tell me that will help me?

I have Pyro, EOT, ECT and a currently non-functioning Boost.

Looking at replacing everything with Autometer Ultra 2 gauges. Curious though - if I should include the boost or if a different gauge could be beneficial to swap in place of the Boost.

Thanks.

It probably isn't a 'must' IMO, for what you use your truck for

I use mine mainly for driving the truck before its up to operating temp (keep it below 15lbs). So, in the case it would be worth it

Get a fuel pressure gauge. You're either going to build boost or you're not.

When the boost was working - the max I built was 30psi at WOT. Most times - it would barely register.

Then 1/2 way through a trip - the guage quit all together for no reason.

So how will a fuel pressure gauge help me? How do the readings benefit me?

id do Fuel pressure or HPOP. Those two or more important and considerably more expersive than a boost gauge as well. They will help the injectors live longer if one or the other starts dropping.

Lack of fuel or oil to your injectors and your gonna be buying 8 new ones

that and you can catch a small problem before it becomes a big problem

I think he was asking, what is low fuel pressure a result of . Bad fuel filters, or possible failing pump
