Electric Boost Gauge
 
What is the cheapest electric boost/vaccum gauge, that still somewhat matches the FD interior? And when I am asking for the cheapest, I assume that all electric boost gauges are good and accurate, but if that assumption is wrong, please exclude any crap gauges.

Mind if I ask why you're going with an electrical unit? Mechanical ones are usually cheaper, and less complication=better reliability.

I have had 2 mechanical now, Autometer, and a generic, and they both suck. I don't trust them.

if you have two cheap gauges and they both suck, why do you want another cheap gauge? just get a quality gauge (defi, etc...). aka: not the cheapest ;)

I have a VDO mechanical boost gauge. It looks nice, and matches the other gauges fairly well. It seems to work fine. VDO is OEM on many Porsches, so it has to be decent quality. Prices are very reasonable too. For about $3, you can get an orange bulb cover that will match the dash lights perfectly.

Notice I said that based on the assumption that all electrical gauges are good. I said, if that is not a correct assumption, leave out the crappy electrical gauges also.
