anyone know gauges that look similar to the stock deuce gauges and are 'relatively' inexpensive?

I used VDO 150-101 for Boost and VDO 310-153, both are what they call Vision Black, which is kinda flat black or at least not real glossy. I also got an extra thermocouple 323-903. Purchased from Don's Sport Vehicle Sales and they shipped the same day! Best of all, I used peashooter's box and other hardware, so I have a light vs. buzzer for low air pressure, a key to enable\disable starting, 12vdc cigarette outlet to run a GPS or charge something, etc. The boost gauge comes with a red rubber to put over the lamp, yet I had to paint the lamp for the EGT with red fingernail polish. At night they light up just like the other gauges! I'll try to take a pic tonight to share. It looks so good and I'm so happy with this setup, very professional, functional, and look very close to original equipment. It's still a work in progress, as I haven't found a switch to mount for the parking brake indicator or hooked up the thermocouple(s). I also got an extra thermocouple to allow looking at pre vs. post turbo or have a data logger hooked up while using the gauge.
Adding a pic at night as promised. I need to get a dab more red nail polish on one of the bulbs, but otherwise I'm happy as a clam.

I would like to move some of my gauges over the steering column too.

Hewitt Industries EGT and Boost
Like Bjorn, my choice was the Hewitt Industries EGT and Boost gauges. They don't require any power except for the red 24 Volt LED back-lighting, which I chose to mimic the Deuce's OEM gauges. The gauges came with everything needed to complete the installation. I am very happy with the Hewitt products, and they have a tech that is familiar with Deuce installs.

Bjorn, I think I know why you like the M757. It came with more controls and dials than a Cessna.

Hmm..it didn't come like this. I added a "mini" dash for egt, boost, transmission temp and extra dash illumination.
Dome lights were also added...
Fuel tank selector switch for fuel return...
It did come with overhead heater controls.
I added overhead clock and temperature monitoring for NiCd battery box...
Control panel for NiCd charging was added.
There is more, but this is enough "butting in" on the OP subject.

I went with the ISSPRO Turbocator. Doesn't require any external power except for the illumination.
