As far as boost gauges go, It really depends on what 'look' you like and where you plan to go on future gauges. If you're planning on putting in more than a boost gauge (such as EGT, Oil Pressure, AFR which BTW is definitely suggested if you plan to boost more than stock) I'd suggest going with a set of Autometer gauges as they have a very large selection of styles, and they are very well-reputed. But, if you're just looking to have a boost gauge, I'd probably suggest the Blitz unit simply because I think it looks very schweet (especially at night) and is said to be a bit more accurate/responsive than most.
Boost controllers. If I had the cash to go all-out on a controller, the A'PEXi AVC-R boost controller would be my first choice. I've used this unit on a Supra and it is very intuitive. The Blitz SBC i-D is also a very nice (but expen$ive) unit. Boost control on a budget - You'll probably want the HKS EVC EZ as it is relatively inexpensive (read: ~$350) If you're looking for supah-cheap, you could get the Turbonetics manual vbc unit, which isn't much more than a dash-mounted potentiometer attached to a regulating valve. I've never seen, used, or trusted a manual boost controller such as this, so just remember - you get what you pay for.
