depends on electronic or mechanical. the mechanical i think the only difference is the size. If you put it on the steering column, get 52. otherwise you will block more of your cluster.

If electrical, then the 60mm ones usually give you more functions. peak hold, warning, etc.

I got 52 electronic. Has warning and I mounted it on the steering column. Search for 'Omori boost gauge installed' for pics.

Also, the standalone gauge cups seem to be mostly 52mm.

I had a greddy 60mm peak hold on my column. I mounted it slightly off to the right, and it didn't block anything. Come to think of it I still have it. Anyone want to take it off my hands?

I also have the greddy 60mm electronic warning meters( boost, egt) I have no complaints with them. I would agree with the other members thought, the 52mm will create less blind spot if mounted along the a pillar, and will also allow one to fit 3 in the stock din housing. Just my 2 cents
