What type of boost guage do you have?

[fat-ti]

I am in the market for a boost guage, but have been getting a little frustrated. I have found many options...some have vaccum and boost, some have just boost. Almost all of the guages I have found go up to 30 psi, except for a VDO guage that goes up to 15 psi. I really like the idea of the VDO guage that goes up to 15psi, since the DASC only produces about 8psi, I think it is overkill to go to a 30psi guage. And the part that is stumping me right now is if I were to get a vac/boost guage, would the guage ever show vaccum, like at idle or light driving, or would it only go into the boost end of the guage? What kind of guage do you have installed (brand, psi, boost or boost vaccum), and what would you recommend?

heres 2 pictures
it has about 7 ft of line coming out of it.
all you would need to buy is a T connector which shouldn't be more than a dollar.

I have the same as midget. The autometer. The vac. actually does work at idle or at anytime for that matter if your not hitting boost.

with my saab it would go a little under 0 sometimes at idle

If hooked up in the intake manifold it will show vacuum at idle and partial throttle.
