Default Boost gauge questions.

I'm thinking of embarking on a DIY boost gauge project for my S4 -- most likely, center vent-mounted as many others have done. I like AWE's kit a lot, but I don't want to spend that much moolah.

I'd like help in finding the right turbo gauge to use, and where to procure it. Ideally, I'd want the red illumination to match the stock interior illumination. Both vaccuum and boost on the scale, with boost up to, say, 25psi. And I'd like an electronic unit with a remote sender, so that I don't have to run tubing all the way. And, of course, I'd like a gauge that's affordable. A tall order, for sure, but surely there's something out there that meets this criteria.

Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch!

I doubt you will find an electronic (no tube) boost gauge, nevermind at a reasonable price.
