I need a turbo boost gauge

I loved the steering column mounted one I used to have on my WRX. it was very easy to read while keeping an eye on RPMs. What one should I buy, where can I buy it, and how much will it cost?

Please give me some help here guys. I am ready to buy, and I already visited the vendor forum with no luck. Are they easy to install? Will I need a professional to do it? What are you using in your evo? Should I pay the $450 for the Mitsu stock gauges?

RMR makes a carbon fiber steering column gauge pod, I think for 100 dollars. Autometer sells a mounting cup for about 15 (plastic) and 40 (carbon fiber).

I just ordered a Autometer 2 1/6 Carbon fiber boost gauge for 60 bucks and the carbon fiber mounting cup from Pepboys. I will post pics of the install once I get them installed.

I plan on getting better gauges next year either Defi or Omori, just didn't feel like spending 200 bucks right now on a boost gauge.

Hope that helps.

I never really considered that. If it was compatible, I would. It was measured in metric milibars which took a little getting used to. Would the wiring be compatilbe????
