which boost gauge is recommended and less than $200

which are proving realiable and accurate? and not too pricey. Like the pod here but don't want to spend too much. maybe something smaller and more discreet. any recommendations?

Just buy any 52mm gauge and mount it using an exhaust clamp that is painted flat black......

I've had a Defi in my Evo. This would be the gauge I would go with again.....Defi BF. The gauge blacks out when it's off. And you can hook up to 6 gauges to the control unit which allows you to record and replay to look at boost behavior. Not exactly $200, but more like 275-300 for the gauge and control unit..so worth it IMO.

I have an STRI DSD-SLM 30psi gauge. It's a really good, clear gauge. It's a little noisy though. You can get them for ~125 on ebay.

The best for the price. It's very accurate!

One thing I hate about the STRI is it has increments of three between 0-5-10-15-etc. WTF?
