Which type of boost/vacuum gauge?

Hi which type of boost/vacuum gauge should I buy? I have a pillar pod which I bought for my car. I am not sure if I need a mechanical gauge and the size? 52mm??

Yup 52mm. I have had no issues with a **** autozone "phaze", but its up to your budget.

Aem true boost 52mm interface controller thing is 350.00 or..... a taiwan #1 brand (seriously what its called) for 12.00

does not really matter if you go electrical or mechanical

T the fitting into one of the lines coming off of the uim behind the throttle body. Do a search to see whihc ones are both vacuum and boost. iirc the bottom nipple on the front of the uim sees vac and boost
