If you want the boost gauge to match the illumination of the instrument cluster go with an Omori Gauge. You can mount it on the steering column with the appropriate mounting hardware.

i have Defi gauges and i love them. the Defi gauges match the stock cluster really well to. ide say go with Defi if u planon getting any other gauges because you have to get a contorl unit. but if you plan on only getting a Boost gauge just get Omori or Greddy or Autometer.

I just ordered a Greddy electric boost gauge and an Autometer single A-pillar gauge pod for my 04' WRX. If you can wait a few days I will post pics of the install.

This is how I have mine installed, fairly easy and doesn't block anything.

I did my install today...what a biatch. My gauge is electronic and the directions specified to tap into the vaccum hose at the fuel pressure regulator. I don't know if the mechanical is similar. I know the mechanical install has been discussed before try searching here, Nasioc or Scoobymods. Here are some pics of the completed install.
