The Autometer mechanical boost gauges are less than $40 from Summit Racing. You have several designs to choose from. The new carbon fiber face ones are nice.

http://www.egauges.com is another nice place to get gauges from...cheap and great/fast shipping

But definetly get a autometer gauge or one of similar/better quality (VDO, Defi, ApexI, etc)

Cheap gauges may work, but when it comes to important things such as boost or AF i'd run with tried and true (especially on high compression motors like yours)

Dont drop your boost gauge or bang it with anything. Your needle wont sit right when the car is off, which MIGHT mean its reading off when the car is boosting. I always tap my boost gauge back to 0 before I turn the car on. lol

I have a fusion boost guage, it works excellent, but I don't trust the material the stuff is made with. I am going to upgrade to autometer for a little peice of mind.
