Default Boost Gauge

I'm looking to install a boost gauge. Which boost gauge would you recommend, and how complex are they to install?

Thanks

Default AWE

For the install instructions.

Then buy this gauge at Egauges and be done for under $60.00 including shipping and tubing kit.

Install is very easy too. Good way to start your journey on DIY stuff for our cars ;-)

Default I have the AWE vent gauge. Nice look, matches interior well.

Install took about an hour and it was the first time I had done it so I was taking it slow. It's not hard at all. The AWE instructions are available on their site so you can see what's involved: <a href="http://www.awe-tuning.com/media/pdf/ventgauge.pdf">click</a>

Default I picked up an autometer gauge, and SPP A-pillar pod. I like having

the gauge closer to my line of sight when I'm driving. Installation was not very hard.

Did you get the Nexus by chance? Sweetest gauge I have ever seen.

Default If $ is no object, the I'd go with AWE. If you want to spend less, it's an easy DIY.

Many have done their own with their own choosing of boost gauge and taking a dremel to their air vent.
