Electric Boost Sensor Recommendations

Hi All,
I'm shopping for electric boost sensors and I was looking for recommendations. I found this post a few years back that kind of went over it, and also there's a lot of info on EGT probes, but what would be a good electrical boost sensor?

Also, it'd be nice if it was compatible with the Auber guage setup, because that's what i'm going to use for reading my EGT and boost.

never saw an electrical boost sensor. i guess the digital gauge manufacturer must have one to go with their gauge though.

Are you just looking for a boost gauge with an electric sender?

I really like my isspro gauges, but theyre pricey. Autometer would be a good middle of the pack with glowshift heading up the rear.

i'm already deadset on using the auber guage system that I linked in the original post. All I need is the appropriate boost sensor, and I emailed Auber to get recommendations. They didn't give me any. their documentation just says "all MAP sensors as long as its pressure/output voltage relationship is known." I googled MAP sensors and there are a gazzillion.

Basically, all i'm looking for is what you guys used that lasted.

I am hoping this sensor work on my IDI (Anyone see any red flags that should lead me to look elsewhere?) : 3 Bar MAP Sensor [AUBER-103] - $36.95 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry
