Boost gauge
 
Anyone point me in the right direction of what boost gauge to buy for my silvia, im pretty new to the turbo world & don't wanna buy a piece of crap but also don't wanna get ripped off or spend the earth on it?

thanks James

Can't believe no one can surggest me a good boost gauge to buy, are there none out there!?! anyway also require an electric fan to replace the standard one of the Silvia, so i can make a bit of room for the the intercooler & try gain as many ponies as i can, so what fan should i be getting?

thanks James

i used a top hose from a sierra i think its the 2.0 twin cam 8v engine in 91 onwards (but could have been the diesel turbo one), they have thermostat for the fan in the top rad hose, works fine on mine.
