Question New boost gauge

While I was re-plumbing my TRD boost gauge with better tubing that won't kink (the supplied nylon tubing sucks) I dropped the gauge on the floor, knocking it out of proper sync. Big DOH! on that one.:pat:

I was able to get the gauge to work properly again by fiddling with the mechanism inside, but I don't trust it and it's making a whiring noise under hard throttle. I'm looking at replacing it with the AutoMeter version of the gauge for ~$60 from PepBoys and am wondering if anyone has any opinions about these gauges. I know they make the gauges for TRD so the must be good quality.

Edit: This is the gauge I'm looking at:

What color are your guages now? Try to get the same face color and illumination color.

I can make the illumination green but my stock gauges are black with white lettering.
