Okay, before anyone yells at me, i searched and couldn't find an answer, so hopefully someone can help me out.

I have a blackfaced TRD boost gauge, and I'm looking for an oil pressure gauge that will go along with the look of the TRD gauge. I.E. black face, orange or red needle, white lettering. I've looked around and couldn't find anything I liked. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas?

P.S. I don't want to ditch the TRD boost gauge because I love how it only reads up to 10 PSI. If I could find another boost gauge that reads as low, I would consider it.

So...Any help?!

Given that the SC for the 1mz is efficient till 13psi...theres no reason for a 30 psi gauge...i guess thats what he means.

I also like the gauge....mine is the one in my avatar :angel:

AutoMeter recommends their Z series to match with the black-face TRD gauge, but there are a few styles from different companies that also match well. Try here:

The VDO Vision and Cockpit and ISSPRO EV Auto Red look close, depending on what you need.

I went with the VDO Vision because it has the same lighting style as the TRD gauge.
