Gauge Selection?

I've been looking at gauge's for a considerable amount of time. Some luck but was wondering if the board may have some other options. Here is what I'm looking for. ]

I like the 60mm gauge and have found some I like but as always, they are short on a major one, fuel pressure.. I'd like vac/boost, oil press/water temp in the dual gauge design (link to twin meters http://www.omorimeter.com/80mm_twin_meter.htm , egt, etc.

I want these in the american version, most japanese companys make only metric version, ie, greddy, apexi, hks etc. very few make a 60mm in american version. autometer makes all i need in a 52mm, but they seem so run of the mill. any suggestions.

some links, i like the omori.

Currently they offer:

Exhaust Temperature
Oil Pressure
Water Temperature
Oil Temperature
Boost / Vacuum
Fuel Pressure
Nitrous Pressure

None of them are offered in a dual gauge setup though. I wish there was an analog boost/vac with a digital fuel pressure display built in.

who cares those gauges are !! Although the acidtrip-constant-colorchange mode is probably only useful for show cars.

Unfortunately the boost gauge is 30 psi. We'd need 8.0:1 pistons and a modified MP112 blower for those numbers.
