Answers....

3. For Boost, any gauge will do. I personally am gonna get the TRD Boost Gauge, and the AEM A/F Gauge. It's a personal preference I believe. If you wanted a gauge that almost looks stock, I would recommend DEFI or STRI.

13a. Most gauges are universal to my understanding. When you are buying gauges, most are in the "universal" section of the site. So as long as all the components are there, it shouldn't be a problem to install.

13b. If you bought that gauge, you would need a power source (to make it light up at night) and a vacuum line to actually read the boost. Most gauges are straight forward, and as long as the components are in there, it will be a simple install.

Hope that helps...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-2...spagenameZWDVW

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TINTE...spagenameZWDVW

i like the look of the first gauge but the combo of the second gauge.
another stupid Q i have is ...how do you read the gauges that is like the greddy ones which is in " BARS"

I have a Autometer Cobalt mechanical boost gauge and a aem wideband. I wouldn't mess with those ebay gauges they don't last long.
