Boost Guage

I am planning to convert the boost control in my 93 300D 2.5L from computer to manual.

Dawes seems to have a good basic boost controller for $25.

Does anyone know where I can get a boost guage ? Do I need to spend $175.00 for a boost guage ?

VDO Vision and Cockpit are a decent match for the factory gauges and run about $30. Make sure you buy a boost gauge for a diesel, not a vac/boost gauge.
