Recommended brand of Gauges?

I didnt know where to go with this, but what does anyone recommended to use for gauges (boost, water temp, oil pressure/temp, air/fuel mix)

I just experimented with a Sport JDM turbo gauge, four things happened.

I hooked it up to a hand pump (for my air mattress), and it didnt read any PSI.

I hooked up my autometer turbo gauge, and got 9 PSI.

1. I found out that my JDM gauge is loltastic and doesnt give any readings.

2. I took it apart and messed with it till it started reading any pressure at all.

3. I tried putting it back together. However, the miserable sons of bitches that they are, decided to make the faceplate ring, malleable as *** aluminum. Therefore bending it out of whack.

4. I came here cause i'm interested in not buying anything **** anymore.

I'm looking for something aesthetic, anyone have any suggestions to a gauge that has a blue/green glow to it?

you can't go wrong with Autometer. Then you get blue/green colored light bulbs. The End.
