Dynotune for sure, Red LED, or Green or Blue Backlit (Shown). White or black face and black or chrome bezel. Full billet aluminum construction - and accuracy that cannot be beat.

I second dynotune. I have their digital nitrous gauge with blue backlighting to match my cobalt gauges. Haven't had the bottle installed since I put the gauge in, but from what I can tell, it works just fine. Very easy install, and awesome customer service.

The nitrous pressure is expensive due to the pressure transducer. Autometer copied us and finally went to a pressure transducer instead of the cheap mechanical model. Thier price is still way over $200 for the autometer and it seems like a special order....Thier gauge is still not as acurate due to the mechanical movement of thier display.
Other mechanical gauges are a pain to hook up. They cost alot less but after You buy lots of lines and fittings you could have had a DynoTune Gauge for the same price
. Not everyone wants the accuracy of a dynotune gauge. To many of us have used the autometer style gauges, with the line in back it makes the pod hard to mount and stay in place. The DynoTune Gauge is real nice. I have the blue in my car as well, does not match my interior at all but looks so good......had to use them
Thanks all for the good feedback!
Cheers

Have the dynotune fuel pressure gauge, but my experience wasn't too good. The very small wires were tough to work with and it was always the gauge that was tough to ground.
More importantly to me, the output was NOT 0-5V, so I could not log my Dynotune gauge via HPTuners. The output was 0.0001 to 0.0005V and therefore tuning programs could not use it.
Right now I can't get the gauge to work at all. It did look nice when it was working.
