Nearly any aftermarket gauge will be more accurate than a stock gauge.

so once you install the boost controller and gauge you can eliminate both of them?

Sorry. Missed the part about the solenoid. You do need that it goes to either the FPR or to the vapor purge canister for the gas tank.

OK-that was confusing? I just put in the boost gauge and teed it into the line just before the 90 degree nipple on the pass. side. Now is that right? Fast job so I'll have to clean it up this weekend.
