Interior Boost Guage

hey all, im looking at buying some guages for my interior. So far ive found:

http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-E92-335...ting/ES259975/



What is a cost effective way to get a boost guage? I was thinking the guage pod that is in the little ash tray, i like the look of it but dont know how functional it is compared to the air vent.

Any personal experience? I dont know much about the styles you can buy, id greatly appreciate some help!

How cost effective do you want to go? You could do something like this: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107134. You can find used gauges floating around here for ~$50.

What is the specific purpose of the gauge in your link? It looks cool but I'm unsure of if I need one.

Shows the level of boost your car's turbos are making, in PSI.

Naples is great. Haven't been there in too long. One more question, if my car is a lease and I had one of these gauges installed... You think it Would it void my warranty? because yours looks really sick and I kinda want one now.

Our vent pod is clean and simple, also if you decided you need another gauge we also have a pod which fits in the passenger vent and angles towards the driver which holds 45mm gauges.
