Shopping for a boost gauge now. Almost all the parts are in hand :) I just wanna see all the options you guys are running. And also if you have any pics of them at night lit up.

I am eyeballing the VDO Vision series 30-0-25psi. Back lit and black faced to kinda match the cluster. Only problem is its a 52mm gauge and I wanted a larger 60mm gauge. Oh well... beggars can't be choosers for 25 bucks.

that's my greddy 52mm one. still in the box :D i like it cuz of the white face and it is backlit a bright green. It is displayed in kg/cm2. damn, 25 bucks is dirt cheap. this one was $160 but I dont care, it was a Christmas present :ylsuper Go DAD! lol

I run the 52mm Greddy as well. I love it and it does also look amazing at night when its all lit up.

I bought the VDO Vision. It's a very nice piece for 28 bucks. I really like the back lighting on it too, not that stupid halo bezel lighting that Autometer does.

go to a industrial supply store, get a liquid filled pressure reader for your turbo, we had a extra one at work that im using, im sure they have to be more accurate than the car kinds considering what they have to be used for, and they are usually cheaper except for the 3000psi ones, thos eonly run a few hundred bucks ;)

my brother fitted his turbocoupe (turblowpoop lol) with VDO gauges and I have to say that during the day they are quite nice. at night though, their cheap 30 cent lightbulb makes illumination spotty and cheap looking. cheap compared to others, but I am thinking I might pay a little more for some that illuminate a little better.
