Default reccomendations for 60mm boost gauge anyone?

Currently have the apr vent pod and my autometer gauge crapped out on me a little ways back, any ideas of a gauge that will match well and fit in the pod? The old gauge had a moisture build up, any way to prevent this again?
Thanks
-Kenny

Default vent location = moisture. some here continue to >>

mount in vent, however, have taken precautions against moisture (I think back padding the gauge).
Relocate....on pillar for example.
Why reduce the cubic mass of your ventilation system?

Default Well...

Check out gauges.com, or Summit Racing.

I just bouhgt a cheap Autometer 3303. Take a look at the 4303, which I believe is 60mm.

Run the A/C more ... that will remove the moisture from the air before it blows by the gauge.

Default Using APEXi 60 mm

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/46648/boost.23lbs.jpg"></center><p>I installed this with a cardboard shim, no extra cost involved. I filled the vent with foam and taped it over, so it has never fogged up.
