As long as it covers the range for your car thats all that matters, there are some cheaper gauges out there that only read upto 1 bar (approx 14.7psi) I would personally go for one that will read up to 2bar.

I know Mike @ Scoobymania has a choice of a few gauges on hsi website, as does Jamie @ JW Racing.

For anyone whose interested I have just had the official wrx/STI Subaru boost gauge fitted to my MY02 WRX by my main dealer. It costs 115 quid + 30 quid fitting. Let me tell you that this is a nice piece of kit and mounts very neatly to your steering column. The dials match the interior perfectly. It took them nearly 2 hours to fit - well worth the 30 quid!
