Default Oil pressure guage/kit

I'm after a good oil pressure guage that comes with the sensor and wiring that would be relatively easy to install on my rst??
I don't want it to be too expensive but also i want a fairly accurate reading- any recommendations???
(i'm still running a standard cvh on EFi btw )

nomad oil pressure is piss easy to fit as it comes with pressure sendor to go in original position plus still give you your warning light on your dash.think its 50 quid mate.

I've looked on demon tweeks which has the stack mechanical gauges for quite cheap- do these do the job or am i better off paying a bit extra and getting the electrical version?
i like the stack ones as there all the same style so i can get some other guages and it won't just look like i've picked um randomly

if you look on demon tweeks there is a wider range of stack guages displayed though- i would guess he stocks them all as well and i'd rather order off him tbh.
