Which companys make a good accurate boost and fuel pressure gauge. I'm looking to purchase these gauges and have heard that some gauges are unaccurate.
Looking for your input.

Autometer makes very good gauges. Depends on how much accuracy you want. If .1 psi is what you want check out dynotune nitrous digital gauges.

I have an Autometer boost gauge with recall and it sucks. Maybe I just have a bad sending unit?

I had Autometer Z-series mechanical boost/vac and electric fuel pressure gauges and they were fantastic! I upgraded to the Autometer Nexus system and it is also excellent but not worth the $$.
