HKS out of Japan. HKS has peak hold which means you can see shat happend when it all goes pear shaped and you didn't have time to look at the gauge. Second hand $150 AU landed.

I use a Hewitt Pyro, I got mine from a truck instrument shop over here in WA. The way I see it the engines in trucks are worth a heap more than mine and they wouldn't stuff around with crap gauges. Only cost around $150 with the sensor.

VDO are actually cheaper than some of the other brands like autometer and speco. But work well in the 2" size (pretty sure thats what size they are). Come in either guage, or kit form. The kit is what you want. AS it comes with the probe.
Think I got quoted $230 from Repco 12mths ago.
