How good do you think it is going to be from Ebay and only £13.50
This is what you need.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost gauge
the £13.50 one does look like a piece of crap, no need to spend £150 on one though, that's just stupidity. check out the r-spec website for a whole host of decently priced gauges

Steer clear, cheap crap.
If you're going to get a boost gauge, get a reputable make. For example:
Apexi
Greddy
Blitz
HKS
Stack
SPA
and such like.

quite funny to link to a gauge for that kind of money when the needle doesnt even center at 0.
try and pick up an old JDM gauge, these last for years and can be found pretty cheap, apexi, greddy, blitz etc.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] boost gauge
Alternatively, buy a half-decent EBC (such as a Gizzmo) and use the boost display that's included in that

There is no power to the stepper motor in the photo so it may not default to 0 till it has power.

As Bob said. Jim, you can't really slate Stack products. 1 of the best.
