Default not too obtrusive...

gauge that hopefully I can put in myself. Or someone help me put in? =P I dont want to fork more money than necessary. Only reason cuz I want a decent gauge that can last me for some time...just want it to keep track of my boost level cuz I have APR stage 1 and sometimes it doesnt boost as smooth...plus it'd look kinna cool. =P

Default So, what's expensive?

You're driving a 29-30k car. You can make a digital boost gauge (STFA)for around $80. I just ordered a Blitz turbo turbo timer with integrated boost gauge for $140 (which is a total rip, you can get it online for $110 or so)

The turbo timers have a face that is 80mm by 20 mm which is pretty inobtrusive.

Default Man you got the pic up with those wheels fast.

Everybody has to make a living, even gauge manufacturers.
