Just seeing what boost gauge people are running. I went with an APEXi one in PSI mounted in a HKS pod on the upper left of my dash board so I could read it with out dropping my eyes from the road too much. The factory one just seemed too pricey for what it is and I didn't like the location.
Alex-----I tried making this a poll, but when I went to submit it, the server rejected it or something, never showed up. I tried twice with 5 poll options.

Just ripped out the OEM gauges and threw in an Greddy 52mm elect. Boost gauge. I only have that one for now, but if i ever get engine management or a bigger turbo etc. i will get EGT/Oil Pressure . For now using the stock ECU I think I am safe with my mods to just set my boost at 15psi, check it on the gauge and go.
Anyway, the OEM gauge was way too hard too see at night, and overall made my eyes hurt trying to decipher it. Greddy gauge works real nice, plus matches the dashboard at night.
peace!

I'm just running an autometer. Personally I don't see a need to spend the money on electronic gauges.

I also went with the factory gauge, it's damn acurate.
Blitz Racing Meter DC.
I used the suction mount to put in directly on the the instrument cluster 'glass' on the bottome right side. Fits perfect since the gauge is electronic and only about 1/2inch thick.

I paid 52.50 shipped. Then I spent about 5-8 bucks on nice brass fittings/teflon tape to install it.
OH and I paid 12 bucks for the mounting cup

$160 or so. HKS pod about $40

I have a blitz dtt also- but I anticipated getting another boost gauge, so I mounted it where the ash tray used to be. more hidden and all that and also impossible to see unless you take your eyes off the road completely for about 2 sec- even with me used to the location. but then again, I did it on purpose:)
I will still be using the peak boost function with the tt when I get the gauge
speed safely
