I'm pretty sure that autometer makes the Roush gauges.
Did you decide not to do the OBDII plug in gauge?
That one I posted the link to in your other thread says it reads boost as one of its gauges.

also, it reads boost but the 5.0s obd won't give out boost data. So I have to manually hook it up too. So I might as well get a mechanical gauge. I was thinking of the autometer sport comp 2

For my Vortech s'chgd '07 GT, I wanted to be able to see the needle move, so I skipped the ones that show vacuum and big boost numbers, and went with a VDO mechanical boost gauge that only reads from 0-15 psi so I could actually discern what psi I was at. Here it is mounted in a Roush vent cup....

Vacuum reading on the boost gauge is handy sometimes if you think you may have a leak but otherwise unnecessary.

Thanks for the information guys. I'm planning on finalizing my choice and order today. For what it's worth, I plan on using the Roush gauge vent pod so my gauge will have to be the circular 52 mm or 2 1/16 inch gauge
