Motorcycle Pressure & Boost Gauges

To push your iron horse to its peak performance on the street or the track, you need a clear, precise readout of the amount of pressure so you can stay in the know of your bike’s well-being. This is what motorcycle pressure and boost gauges do. Increasing the boost means more air will be stuffed into the engine and more horsepower being generated. Motorcycle pressure and boost gauges are designed to monitor the intake manifold air pressure or boost pressure level in a supercharged or turbocharged bike engine, allowing you to safely and reliably run a more aggressive tune-up.

Motorcycle pressure and boost gauges are a must-have to control the amount of pressure when altering it to higher levels than the OEM standard. These devices help prevent overboost condition, which may cause damage to the engine’s pistons, turbo or intake manifold. They also help detect boost leaks that can cause the incorrect ratio of air to fuel as well as make your turbo to work harder, which may lead to poor performance. There are two types used today: analog and digital boost gauges. Analog turbo boost gauges can be used for bikes with low electrical connection or without an electrical system installed. Analog devices use mechanical components to read the amount of boost pressure whereas digital boost pressure gauges run a vacuum line to a sensor to provide a readout. Boost and pressure gauges may have a backlight and an illuminated needle for clear and easy readings day and night.
