AutoMeter boost and fuel pressure is adequate for me in A pillar.

I'm poor so I'm using B&M gauges and they look really nice for about $75 a piece which the fuel pressure gauge also includes electric sender.
I don't have pic maybe for another 2 weeks when I'm done with my custome gauge mouting.

I didn't use anything extremely special. Autometer boost and fuel pressure gauges.

I use autometer gauges in all my cars. Never had a problem with one. If you have white face gauges get the autometer C2's, part # 7163 fuel pressure and 7107 boost gauge. Hope this helps.

I like the look of the Autometer Nexus Gauges. Not cheap though, they range from 210-250 for a Boost and Fuel meter each and 400 for the wideband. You will also need the controller which is a extra 200.

These gauges look badass! Watch the demo on them if you haven't seen it: http://hp.autometer.com/products/nexus/index.html

I bought the AF Wideband, Fuel, and Boost/Vac gauges with the controller. That website is awesome.
