The AEM 30-0306 X-Series Boost Pressure Gauge reads from -30 inHg to 35 psi (-1 to 2.5 bar) using X-Digital technology for fast, accurate pressure monitoring in turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated applications. The AEM 30-0306 displays boost and vacuum on a single sweep across the 52mm gauge face, giving tuners and daily drivers a clear, real-time view of manifold pressure without adding multiple gauges to the dash. A black bezel and reversible faceplate are included. The 30-0306 includes a 0-5V analog output for datalogger or boost controller integration, and universal fitment works in any vehicle or test bench with a 1/8-inch NPT vacuum or pressure port connection.

AEM Performance Electronics has developed aftermarket performance electronics for over 30 years from Hawthorne, California. AEM produces wideband controllers, boost gauges, standalone ECUs, and data acquisition systems used by professional race teams and enthusiasts worldwide. The X-Series gauge platform represents AEM's current generation of X-Digital technology for fast, accurate sensor monitoring in performance and motorsport applications.
The AEM 30-0306 reads from -30 inHg vacuum to 35 psi positive boost pressure, which is -1 to 2.5 bar. This range covers naturally aspirated vacuum monitoring and most turbocharged and supercharged boost pressure applications up to approximately 35 psi.
Does the 30-0306 display both psi and inHg on the same face?Yes. The AEM 30-0306 displays the full range from vacuum (-30 inHg) through boost (35 psi) on a single sweep of the 52mm gauge face, so both vacuum and boost are visible in a single glance without mode switching.
Does the AEM 30-0306 have an analog output for boost controllers?Yes. The 30-0306 includes a 0-5V analog output that can be connected to a boost controller, standalone ECU, or datalogger that accepts a pressure voltage reference signal. This allows the gauge to serve dual purpose as both a display and a sensor signal source.
What gauge panel size does the AEM 30-0306 fit?The AEM 30-0306 uses a 52mm gauge housing, which fits standard 52mm A-pillar pods, custom dash panels, roll cage mounting brackets, and any gauge panel with a 52mm opening.
Does the 30-0306 come with a bezel and faceplate?Yes. The AEM 30-0306 includes a black bezel and a reversible black faceplate. The faceplate can be flipped to show either the boost (psi) or vacuum (inHg) scale as the primary display orientation depending on the application.
How does the AEM 30-0306 connect to the intake manifold?The AEM 30-0306 connects via a standard 1/8-inch NPT fitting to a pressure port on the intake manifold, intercooler piping, or a T-fitting in the boost reference line. Most turbocharged and supercharged applications already have a 1/8-inch NPT port, or one can be added by a machine shop or fabricator.
What is the maximum boost pressure the 30-0306 can read?The AEM 30-0306 reads up to 35 psi of positive pressure. Applications running more than 35 psi of boost will exceed the gauge's range. AEM offers higher-range boost gauge options for extreme boost applications above this level.
Is the 30-0306 compatible with E85 or alcohol injection builds?Yes. The AEM 30-0306 is a pressure gauge and its readings are independent of fuel type. It measures manifold pressure via a pressure tubing connection and will read accurately regardless of the fuel or injection strategy used in the build.
