Boost Guage
I am going to buy a boost gauge. Based on previous threads it appears as though Stewart Warner is the best gauge for the money. I just want to make sure I am buying the right stuff.
I am buying the following. This is all I need right?
http://www.42draftdesigns.com/produc...wb-114-376.htm
and
http://www.42draftdesigns.com/product/42150851.htm
Am I missing something?
I am also looking for the single pod that goes on top of the steering column. Where can I get one of those?
Thanks!

Lancer Shop sells that pod, I believe. I am going for the VDO boost gauge for a more old-school look, but either one should work.

You will probably want to purchase the red LED to go with your gauge from 42draftdesigns, so it matches your interior.
This is a viable post because i have also stated in the past and agree that 42draftdesigns is the most confusing website i have ever used to purchase something.

Yeah, get the Stewart Warner gauge. I have it on my car, and it's much more accurate than the Autometer gauges that my friends run. For the money, it works great, and matches the stock cluster fairly well.
You should also get the tubing, whicih you have linked to above.
I ordered the red LED (not the amber), and it matches well at night.
Their website can be confusing, but order these three things and you're set:
Gauge
Tubing
Red LED
You can get fuel tubing from Autozone for cheaper, but the tubing from 42DD fits the gauge perfectly.
As for a mounting pod, I can't remember where I got mine.
