Reasonable gauge prices?

I am going to need some gauges for my car soon and I was wondering if anyone knew of some REASONABLY priced gauges(not paying for a damn name...). I need a boost gauge more than anything... (putting turbo motor in an n/a, would like to use the same gauge clusted but I guess I can find a TII cluster somewhere... PITA to find though. I am going to be making more boost than the stock gauge can read anyways.)

A gauge is a simple thing and should not cost 150-200$$. That is rediculous. 40 or 50 is doable but still seems kinda high.

and this is NOT about being cheap! its about not getting *** raped by these damn "tuner" companies!

Yep, VDO, or used. Nothing wrong with used stuff as long as it works. Stay away from autometer!
