Boost gauges - what type do folks run? got pictures or reccomendations?

Looking for a nice quality looking gauge for customer install...

What do you folks like.. do you have any pix or links of said?

many thanks
bill

Does it have to be a dial and not a digi readout Bill?

Oh and avoid any Autogauge POS like the plague.

I've got a 52mm Garrett gauge - that doesn't match anything.

I like it because it's clear and easily readable - and it says 'Garrett' on it.

Never had any probs mate. Took all power feeds off head unit wiring and used proper bullet connectors.

that is proberly it. 1st gauge had a faulty loom supplied. oil temp plays up but better connections should sort it.

prosport gauges = good gauges for the money but use your own wires

peak function can be useful, flashes/alarm when going over a certain setting.

cheap version of defi really
