Default Exhaust pressure gauge. Who makes a good one?

Like the title says. The ones I found only go to 8psi. What should the pressure be around with a turbo? 2:1?

Any 50 psi gauge will do. I've measured 34 - 48 psi on my car, depending on boost level and muffler used.

How did you adapt it? I want to go through the o2 hole but adapters for the metric thread is not available. I was going to use my compression tester.

I drilled my manifold and welded in a 1/8" pipe thread bung. From there, I screwed in a 6" long piece of 1/8" pipe to isolate the heat, then adapted to small plastic tubing.
