I have an HKS analogue boost guage and a Blitz digital boost guage with turbo timer.
The HKS is electronic and by pressing buttons you can review max boost, reset etc.
The same is possible on the Blitz.
Both guages show the same readings when accelerating and at idle.
I prefer the HKS as the reading is analogue so its just a matter of which you prefer.
Sam's guage is impressive. If you do the work yourself I would go this way.

I bought the guage from TDi.
Also an oil temperature guage and an exhaust temperature guage.
They are mounted centrally on top of the dashboard. I had the work done by TDi.
All in, it was around 700GBP.
The guages were a new design which match the speedo, rev counter etc.
Looks very nice when illuminated.

Cool

STUFF TDI!!

Never go there...ever...

You can source the gauges from many places..

ABP, Hi-Teq, Co-Ord....but dont use TDI

Depending on which gauge you chose (boost), installation can be quite straight forward.

J. (running HKS Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, EGT, Boost - not fitted by TDI!!)
