can somebody help go shopping for me?

I'm looking to get a triple gauge pod, w these being my three gauges, oil pressure( have mr so looking to relocate), boost gauge (psi), and a air fuel gauge, all 52 mm(preferably blue). A boost controller, manual or electronic, any suggestions on which is better, a Turbo timer. I need to know what all is needed and required. I have a turboback exhaust and apexi intake. I will have a shop install all of the electronics and tune it. Please help me shop, what, where, etc.

Ahh yes I Have but they will sell me what they have vs what works, what has been used and reviewed. I got with a vendor and they told me I should get a k&n typhoon intake which has been reviewed as junk. That's y I'm asking you guys. I've searched but sifting thru is difficult. I can't just type in best gauges, cuz the word best is too common and gauges brings up a million posts. Turbo timers, boost controllers, all same deal. I want quality products used by people on this forum. I just figured someone could lay it all out, I could do research on product reviews from the list given, then kindly give it to my girlfriend as a Christmas list.

get a triple gauge pod:

three gauges, oil pressure( have mr so looking to relocate), boost gauge (psi), and a air fuel gauge, all 52 mm(preferably blue):
i have all aem oil pressure, boost gauge, a/f wideband. i regret getting an oil pressure, as i dont really have use for it. just wanted to run a 3rd gauge because it looks cool. i would use maperformance as a source of parts. they are simply the best.

A boost controller, manual or electronic:
i run a hallman mbc. you basically put it in, get the car tune and not touch it ever again. :P http://www.maperformance.com/hallman...ontroller.html

Turbo timer:
waste of money IMO.

Thanks for all ur help josel. Ur input has been a lot of help. May I ask y u think a Turbo timer is a waste, unless u sit and idle the car after every time u stop somewhere. I personally am busy to let the oil in the Turbo cool down
