Red Neck Gauge.
I made mine for about 12 bucks.. I am a cheapo.. Little 1.5" gauge. $6 and some fittings/hose. In the picture don't mind the x. It was the spot i put my switches. You can see the gauge in the pocket. Only picture i had of it and It shows that I wrapped it in foam so it stays put. Works well.

I found a good deal on a pair of gauges just last week on my local Craigslist. You might want to try looking there, and this will help narrow down your results:
1. Go to Google
2. In the search bar, type: boost gauge site:craigslist.org
3. Press the Enter key (lol)
What this does is tell google to search for both "boost" and "gauge" on craigslist.org.
Oh, and even better (duh!!) is Search Tempest - Search Craigslist Faster! - it lets you search craigslist sites/ads within a mileage radius of a zip code

looks like there are .....
gauges all over eBay for under $30 bucks.
Just need to find one with 1/8th tubing to fit the AIH fitting for boost sampling.
Thanks for our help....
Still hoping to find someone with an extra gauge that doesnt need it and willing to part for a fair deal.
Thanks,
Andy

Tom...
your offer was awsome. Its things like that, that make this forum so great. I have patience and will find one. I may build a boost leak detector in the meantime to see if there is boost leak. If not, then I know I have a problem either building boost or spilling boost. I can hear the turbo spooling up (the whistle sound i quess). Makes me think the up pipes are tight. well see....
