i have been looking for a boost gauge that will match the MS3 factory gauges that is my hold up. if you dont care if the illumination matches stock then google the following.

Autometer
Defi
HKS
Blitz
AEM

all make very nice gauges. i personally like mechanical boost gauges also if you want to kill 2 bird with one stone check out this link. http://www.blitz-performance.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=1

If you want a solid gauge taht will match the stock illumation, buy a premium series peak/warn prosport boost gauge in amber. That's soon on my list. Someone already has one installed on his steering column in red and it matches great. I have 4 prosport gauges i my MR2 and they are wonderful and accurate.

I'm using a prosport premium, it matches pretty well. I'm not liking the warning buzz and gauge flash at the peak which you have to reset every time you start the car. If I could go back I would buy the plain amber. Electonic is the way to go also. You have a small sender under the hood and the wires are easy to pass throught your hood release cable grommit. A mechanical runs a line from the gauge to the engine. If I was rich I would get a defi and if I was plain I would buy an autometer. The prosport is quite ms3.

You probably have both wires set to accessories. You need to have the red wire hooked to a constant power supply (e.g. battery) to keep the memory even after the key's off.

Yeah I agree I like th e colors of the Prosprot gauges and many Speed3ers are using them. I know I will go that route also. Hey check out these gauges: The face of the gauge looks like Prosport gauges:

The install is basic but takes time. If that makes sense. I had trouble running the wires from the steering column to the passenger side but all went well. I have a prosport gauge as well but bought it in blue since thats all I was able to find at the time. I will buy the amber one once its available and then sell the blue one. It works perfectly. Its an awesome gauge IMO.
