If nasira ito, sasagad boost mo all the way to 2bar and up. Result? Blowby makina mo. I've seen this happen on cars with stock boost levels.

As for brands, Autometer and VDO mechanical boost gauges are cheaper compared to the GReddy, HKS, OMORI, Apex'i, and DEFI gauges since they have a lot of features like 30-second playback, max peak and peak hold memory of the boost.
mero din electronic and mechanical boost gauges, mas mahal nga lang yung electronic.

this is where I installed my boost gauge, I bought a single din plate, drilled a hole and inserted the gauge.
ok sana yung a-pillar mounted pero meron akong a-pillar air bag and ayokong lumipad yung boost gauge sa mukha ko.
