What are peoples recommendations for a brand of boost gauge? Which are the better ones and which ones should I stay away from?

It depends on your price range and what style you like.
I would personally go for an electronic Apexi EL Boost gauge, comes with peak recall, memory function and warning light. Also glows blue and has a red needle.

Failing trying to track one of those down which may look odd in a mini, an old TIM or Smiths style one would be cheaper and easier to get and also do the job!

damn, you got robbed, lol...

i paid £10-£15 each for my auto gauge ones, the boost gauage isn't very accurate either.

glad you put that up, they've got the dump valve kit so its inline with your boost pipes instead of moddifying the plennum.

Aren't 'auto gauge' cheap halfords gauges for like £10? I can see why they aren't very accurate! Stack ones are very good. I would recommend them :)
