I am wanting a boost gauge, but I don't want a complex set up. Just a boost gauge. I was thinking about prosport but the reviews aren't great. Defi, AEM and whatever you guys have to say about gauges would be appreciated! Thanks! I want to buy soon.

Depends on how much your willing to pay. I have a prosport digital boost gauge and I like it. Defi gauges are good but so expensive. For what you pay you can get a dashhawk or aeroforce scan gauge that tells you pretty much everything.
Guages are also kind of a PITA to install, especially if you wan't a clean look. Have you thought about dashhawk or aeroforce scan gauge?? They plug right in to the OBD port. Instant install ftw ! It monitors tons of parameters as well which is nice.

The one drawback to the Dashhawk, which I dearly love, is that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to monitor any of the parameters real closely. It probably refreshes about 2-3 times per second. For some things, like boost, I prefer an analog gauge so I can watch the needle sweeping. Peak hold is even better for certain needs.

Get an aeroforce scan gauge then :). Best thing ever. I love mine.

I wouldn't say it's the best, but I love my Defi boost gauge. It's certainly high quality.
