not sure mate,
i would also like a gauge over 2 bar as i peak just over 2 bar so would like 1 with recall too,
only bet really is to keep your eyes peeled for a stack 3 bar boost gauge but even if your lucky enought to find 1 it wil cost serious money

His Apexi? You can't get them anymore either....
Nomad does a 30 & 40psi gauge, not as nice looking as a Defi, but accurate. Also does a matching oil pressure gauge.

My mates was running similar power at those boost levels.
Different ball game.
I'll ask my mate tonight as his boost guage reads to 3 bar, looks like the Stack in size and layout but is just conventional

. However, don't expect Scottish prices .Mike if that Stack guage pictured runs absolute pressure like mine then thats only a 2bar boost guage
Mine is 0-4bar which is a 3bar max guage
