Default What gauge matches stock the best

I did a search and I can't find a thread on this subject. I want to install a boost gauge and I would like for it to match the stock cluster as much as possible. There is one on frame 31 that would be perfect.

I have been trying to find one online like that. Anybody have any idea.

I want it too. I've grow tired of my VDO.

I installed a glowshift this time, though not a colorshift, and had a sw last time. The build quality and such is def better with the sw, and i miss it, but at the time couldnt swing the double price for the sw. All said, I reccomend the latter, but I would forgoe the higher intensityLED that 42dd sells, its def a good deal brighter than the stock lighting to the point of being distracting/squint worthy.

+1 to the Stewart Warner with the 42DD LEDs.
It looks great, close to stock with either the white or red LED
<-- look here for an abstract example

I went with a Prosport. The amber matches pretty well, didn't bother wiring into the dimmer circuit either. It has a mirrored lense so you need power to see it during the day as well.

The Autometer Sport Comp II seems like a pretty good looking gauge as well. http://turbotechracing.com/productca...p;idcategory=0

A few bucks cheaper here: http://www.hallspeedshop.com/sportco...ge-p-2650.html

I do like the SW gauge as well but I wish it would go to 30psi instead of just 25. I know they have a higher one that goes to 35psi but I don't want it
to go that high either. 30 is a sweet spot. The new AWE gauge will have 30psi and it will say BOOST instead of TURBO, however it wont be out for another
3-4 weeks according to AWE Tuning. Plus they did away with the Center Silver button which made it a perfect fit for the interrior of the TT. They don't have any
more of the old style left but there may be wholesalers that might still have some old stock.

Defi D-series (discontinued, i.e. rare) is best match. Revo rev2 is pretty much copies the gauge face of the Defi-D so it's a good match too.
