A boost gauge would be a good idea. You may have a vacuum hose leak somewhere.

you maintanence the car regularly I am assuming? cause it could be something simple like plugs, fuel filter, etc.

also, reset the ecu to see if the power comes back

VDO is a good brand - nothing but great stories and you can't beat the price. Don't touch Guessometer (Autometer). Then you get into the Japanese brands like Greddy, Apex'i, HKS which all make great quality gauges. Defi as well! ...new and getting very popular.

You can put it right in front of your original gauge display (tachometer, speedometer), on the steering column. It's a subtle position but very easy to see.

just installed a VDO in my car 2 days ago.
VDO Vision is the typical one that matches our interior.
