After market vacuum/boost gauge
I'm going to be getting a vacuum/boost gauge for my Ecoboost some time in the near future. Since I can't seem to find an A-pillar mount for them I'll probably just get one of
to stick on the dash left of the steering wheel. First off, mechanical or electronic? Second, I'm curious what gauge everyone thinks will look best.
or
Or any other gauges that anyone thinks would match best.

I think the top link would look the best. Not looking in my truck atm, but I think that would match your gauges the best. A few of the guys on here talk about monitoring their boost while driving. Hopefully they give you links to what they did.

Agreed, when I first flipped thru those I couldnt believe that was the only option. They should have nearly every measurable thing in there...Get rid of the need for a scangauge

IMO I wouldn't get a gauge with 30 psi. 20 psi and you would have a lot more gauge movement and be more precise and reading a boost number. 30psi to me looks like you are a poser

But sometimes a 30 psi gauge is necessary.I run 26 psi w/ alcohol injection in my Grand National. 
It's usually the quality of the gauge not the amount of psi that determines the accuracy of the gauge.

Thats great for non 4X4 guys, looks awesome other than the electric tape that will melt off in a couple hundred miles...
How about for the 4x4 guys?
Im sure in the next 6 monthes the aftermarket will explode with options for this engine.
