[s-cars] Boost Gauge Face

I saw "30psi" on my VDO " Vacuum-25psiBoost" Boost gauge during one lap, when (what is suspected but never confirmed to have been the root cause) the wiring to my WGFV was having intermittent contact...

It felt good, but I kept waiting for a spark plug to fly through the hood whenever it happened.  Needless to say I put some effort into fixing it, and havent seen it again since.

I think the guys running 25-30 psi will be FINE with the 25psi gauge and some interpolated markings :)

Just my EUR 0.02 :)

Has anyone ever pegged 30 psi yet ? I don't think so.
That is a lot of boost / volume. What would be next 35 PSI :-)
When does the bottom drop out and the head fly off anyways ?

Inquiring minds wanna know ! Well one at least.
