only have a 2.5 bar map sensor in the cars, that;s all the car can see. I dunno if the gauge will go past that, but I needsomething to read past 22.35 psi.

you can not buy the gauge by itself. it only comes with the pod from gm.

Umm, soo why not just run a more accurate, faster responding, nicer, mechanical gauge for like $70 bucks and be done with it..?

This is cool, but only if you can source a SS/TC gauge for cheap or something...

So what implications are there to exceeding 22.35 psi of boost? I'm assuming MAP readings are going to be incorrect as well then?
