i have an omori used one if you still haven't got one. it's a 52mm that'll fit in the autometer steering column.

I like my Autometer, it works a treat.
What do you need to know.... have boost, don't have boost, don't have enough boost. For example; if your car is tuned to 22psi and your Autometer boost guage is reading 22psi +-.5 psi, you know everything is good.

People splash cash on gauges like Defi for the bling-bling factor.
If you're not really a bling-bling person and just want somehthing that works, go for an Autometer. If you would like a little more accuracy, spend the extra on a Stewart Warner.

I have an autometer carbon gauge and it works well, looks decent. It just doesn't match the factory gauges, but there are very few that do. the ones that match can be pricey.

I have an autometer... I'm very happy with it. Happy enough that I removed my electronic boost gauge.
