Hi guys sorry if this has been covered before but I couldn't really find any positive answers
I am toying with the idea of getting and fitting a boost gauge but I know very little about them.

Which type or make are best?

What scale should I get?

Where do you guys have yours fitted? Any pictures of your install would be good.

Thanks Dob

ive got myself a prosport evo
its a digi gauge with bargraph. very easy to glance at what boost its hitting etc...
ive custom mounted mine into my vent. not sure whats best for you, maybe a mirror cover mount or pillar mount
typically theyr 52 or 60mm...

Have a look at carbonwerx pod from the states, its a cracking fit & looks pretty OE with regards to a pod.
As for a gauge it depends what floats your boat, I wouldn't think you would need more than 20psi.

Looks good in the vent mate.
Did you blank off the duct behind the vent or does it still blow air past the gauge?
