Ray -

Looks great! One question...maybe I don't know which line is which, but my count the bold line that reads 15 is actually the 14psi line? I thought that the bold mark at the end of the stock gauge is 10. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I do have a question here. It's been reported that our boost guages aren't all that accurate. If that's the case, how accurate are these going to be compared to true aftermarket boost guages?

Also, how difficult is it to remove the pin?

Can a hack do it, or would we be risking damage to our dashboards and panels?

Dan, I thought the same thing. Turns out the first hash mark is 12lbs of boost.

- 10
**Space due to thickness of 10 hash**
- 12
- 13
- 14
- 15
- 16

Thanks! I thought I was losing my mind for a second :thumbsup:

It has been reported in past posts here on SVTPerformance, that the stock gauge is pretty dang accurate when compared to test equipment.

The stock gauge is accurate enough for me considering that I really do not need to know if I made 13.0psi or 13.1 psi...its pretty meaningless.

FWIW, those hip and expensive Autometer gauges are typically only accurate to within 2-3%. Certainly, not much better (if at all) than our stockers.

Hey OverToad,
If you go back to the last series of posts about the gauge overlay, you will find a post & a link from me which connects back to the original gauge modification that I did on my gauge. The procedure for modifying the gauge is described there as well as the calibration technique that I used to verify the accuracy of my stock gauge. I realize that this is only valid for my gauge, but you would think that whoever supplies the gauges that Ford puts in dash would have an adequate quality control policy in place. My finding indicated that my stock gauge was accurate to within a 1/4 psi over the entire range of movement. I verified accuracy up to 20 psi.
