MAtching Boost guage

What boost guage can I get that matches the stock orange that we have... Not looking to spend $100+ for that discontinued HKS one either...

Oh and can someone briefly explain the differences between mechanical and electrical...

Too lazy to search

They may be make, but I don't know of any other gauges then the "Old School" for color match. Mechanical gauges-Hose or plastic tubing is run from the gauge to vacuum source on engine. Quite simple. Electrical-Hose from vacuum source on engine is connected to a sending unit in the engine compartment. Wiring runs from the sender to the gauge.

I have the old school hks gauge, its really sweet.
My friend has a defi(new) but dont know which model it is. it is black with red and orange writing, which actually blends with stock. I think they are on ebay, and he got his for about 100 dollars.
