I'm looking to purchase a boost gauge and would like to hear people's opinions. The car in question is a '92 Laser RS, 100% stock. I am planning on purchasing the
Pro Pod full pillar pod or the
Stewart Warner pod which from the link, support 2.0625 inch gauges. I would prefer not to have to hone out one of the holes to support a larger gauge such as the Greddy 60mm (2.3622 inch) series or come up with a bushing to support a smaller guage such as the Greddy 52mm (2.0472) series.
I would like to stray away from an Autometer Boost Gauge as I am not satisfied with their quality. A couple examples of their quality control issues can be found in these threads:

Greddy as well as Apex are out of the question since they only offer boost guages in metric units. I am leaning towards a -30 to 30 ranged gauge with the common "mechanical" readout, not the digital. I have read good things about Stewart Warner gauges and had
this one catch my eye. Does anyone have experience with Stewart Warner products?
I should also mention I would like the gauge to be a white face gauge similar to the linked Stewart Warner gauge above however I am open to others. I am planning on setting up the gauge with a kit similar to what Erik describes in
this thread.
Thanks!
EDIT- I will mention that I realize there are 6.02x10^23 threads like this out there already on Tooners and NABR, but I still would like the opinions of people here.
