Question Small Boost Gauge

Hi all, I'm looking for a small aftermarket boost gauge 1.5 inch dia or smaller, I've looked a lot for one that small but havent been able to find one, if anyone knows of some place that sells a boost gauge that small, that would be real helpfull. Thanks.

smallest ive seen is at 2 1/16, i believe,
hard to find smaller gauges than that,

hopefully you can find a company that offers them

but, i jus had to say it, i think you wanna go with a reliable company
for the reason thier gauges are reliable, and accurate
ie: autometer, defi, and so on

dont trust good looking gauges if they cant be accurate, you could be getting a wrong reading and there goes your engine

well if thats the part youre trying to fill

two units from hks electronics will do

electric boost controller, that doubles as a gauge
and a turbo timer,

Well you see im making my car a NA-T, and im going to try to avoid spending $1000+ on computer stuff when i only plan to run ~6 psi of boost, so I wont need a very complicated set up. thanks anyway for the advice. By the way, I came acrossed a boost guage that seemed smaller than 2inches, it was at pepboy and I think the brand was auto gauge or something similr it was behind glass so i couldnt get a close look but i think i might go with that. Thanks again.

The stock volt meter and boost gauge are the same size... except for the extended box the boost gauge has that bolts onto the back of the gauge cluster. If you're trying to go for a stock look, just swap in the boost gauge and the controller and dump the volt meter.

Well I want to keep the volt meter and just build a pod to go below the head unit for the boost gauge,..... I guesed they were the same size, I was wondering if the stock boost gauge is smaller than 2 inches, but ill get a measurement today. Thanks for the info though!
