LPE Boost gauge?
I saw this gauge at BG 2004 and from what I see from the web site it sells for $350. Does anyone have it cheaper. I like the 15 psi boost range and easy to read face.

Here is a site with a million gauges to choose from.. None of them anywhere near $350 each...

I would love to hear why they think their boost gauges are worth $350.00 !!. It's a boost gauge. Let's get real. Anything over $100-150 is an absolute rip off.....

LPE does not sell that guage anymore. I was going to get that guage with my Magnuson because I liked the LPE logo and the large 0-15 psi on it but they said the manufacturer was not making them anymore. This was 2 years ago so maybe they started making them again but I doubt it.

their website has them under H2 boost gauge in white face. But why $300+. Iguess they feel at LPE that they can squeeze a little extra profit from their name. "Corvette Tax"

My brother had his Magnuson installed at LPE two years ago, and they installed an autometer gauge - the LPE one pictured above was not available. I hope his didn't pay $300 for the $75 autometer gauge!

I use the single guage pod from Autometer, with guage and pod looks better than the one you have pictured and the whole thing only cost me $60.
