Default Gauges for boost and fuel pressure

I am putting the Vortech S Trim on my 97 gt and I need these two gauges. I know I should get Auto Meter, but they're just too expensive for me when I'm not even competitively racing or anything. I am just using this P/Aas an extra perk to make my car go faster, not race. Will these gauges work for it:

I know the auction ended, but I'm sure he has more. I need a boost gauge anda fuel pressure gauge at the very least. Now, I'm getting this kit as well: http://www.andersonfordmotorsport.com/mr-freeze.html and I'd like to be able to monitor how much of the Methonal stuff is left in the tank. Are there any gauges out there that can do that?

Any input would be great. I'm ordering this stuff as soon as I can so I can drive down to NC in a week or two with the blower on my car. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hmm... I just dont know if i would trust something that cheap.
But i guess if you dont need to monitor it that bad its not that big of a deal.

a gauge is a gauge, no need in spending 60 bucks each unless you got it...

fair enough. my gauge has been working fine for 2+ years, but i'm sure there's some people that have had them break after a month.

Fuel pressure gauges require a sending unit, I choose autometer because when it comes to electronics attached to my fuel system I don't want any risk involved. As for boost, you probably will be fine with a cheap gauge.

Well I can't very well do a nice auto meter fuel pressure guage and a cheapo boost gauge. I might as well get Auto Meter for both. Any good deals out there? Anywhere that sells them for less than an arm and a leg?
