Default Looking for a Digital Boost gauge

I'm looking for a digital boost gauge. Analog considered. Also does anyone have a gauge panel that wants to sell?
Suggestions.

Looking for a round gage?

I came across these not too long ago (forget if it was on here or not)...very handy stuff, I plan on putting one in my Audi. You do have to buy a display ($50) and a MAP sensor ($35). The one downfall of it is that it can't display in mixed units (ie. mmHg for vac. and psi for boost). They also can be used for a EGT setup...which I also plan on getting.

Well I'm looking for the round one(52mm). I'll probably Tap the boost line by the KLR. Something simple since I just want to check Boost.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Glowshift and Prosport both have round digital ones in the sub-$100 range. My friend runs glowshift gauges and like them...been running them for a year with no problems.

Go to www.jegs.com and search for "brand" VDO and "boost" or "pressure" gauges. It will cost you $30 w/shipping and can be installed in an hour or less. I picked one up, purchased the gauge pod from LR and had it installed/working within 30 minutes. For the lights, I wired the positive to the foglight switch and the ground to the instrument cluster mount. Pick up a cheap vacuum line kit from Autozone and tap into the KLR line. The hardest part will be running the vacuum line to the gauge.

And if you're considering the digital route, look at Delphi gauges. Expensive but extremely cool. When/if I build my own manifold, I'll be going the digital route.

Once i get further along with the car I'm going to be buying a few PLX gauges. I like the modular aspect, shallow depth, and display options.

A great place to pickup gauges for a good price is eGauges.Com . They are usually the cheapest.
