boost gauge

my autometer just took a dump. the needle just fell right off. I guess i need a new gauge. What company should i go with. I was thinking Defi but i don't want to spend that much! 52mm, black face, mechanical would be best.
any suggestions and links to best deals?
thanks guys

I have that exact boost gauge, Defi 52mm Black D-gauge. I love it, it looks great. It almost matches the stock lights perfectly. It's the closest looking gauge to stock that I've seen. It wasn't that much $$ either. I got it for like $100 brand new, shipped off of Ebay. The ebay user name was like "brand-new-in-box" or something like that....hope this helps.

Send it back to Autometer, their Customer service is second to none. Hell, they may even send you out a new one before you send your broken one back. You don't need to buy another gauge.

I just went and got an autometer boost/vac gauge (had boost only gauge till now) for free from a friend and installed it. Also, i took the MR valve off and swapped it with my stock plastic valve. No more stalling but.....
My vac reads at 16-17 at idle. Im pretty sure im supposed to be at 20 at idle....right? am i leaking?
where should i check for leaks if i am?
damn....1 problem fixed and now a new one.
