27-29psi peak depending on how free the VNT is.

cheers nick. so a +/-30psi gauge will be ok? whats 30psi = in Bar?   does it also need the vacuum minus part?

+1

The is not manifold vacum, so a gause 0-30psi will be fine, or even a 35psi becuase even a somtimes even a stock map can spike over 30psi depending on conditions.
