I like the looks, i have ultralite II's myself and they look very similar.
The vaccum gauge would be a waist of money, diesels are different than their gas counterparts and don't create measurable vaccum I've read.
0-35 PSI is perfect for a stock turbo.
I just re-read the description and it says 'around the dial' lighting, if you want it to be absolutely clear at night and not dim at it's highest setting you want 'through the dial' lighting.
Look at the ultralite I's and then the Ultralite II's in my garage, THAT is the difference and it is WELLLLLLLLLLLLL worth it. In fact i started with the ultralite I's and was so blind I couldnt make them out at night (my eyes) and now that i have the ultralite II's just a quick glance is all it takes.
Like i said, check out my garage for pics and it will show you the difference, i highly recommend the THROUGH the dial rather than the other way around.
Here, i'll just link these...

That is the THROUGH the dial UltraLite II's (all though i cant hold the camera still...lol) i had to buy so I could see them after i bought the AROUND the dial gauges I had already paid for ;)

That is the one that you need. No need for vac gauge.

I just bought a phantom 2 0-35 boost but after buying and finding out that i cant change the gauge color im selling it. I purchased a set of stewart warner impact gauges today. the phantom 2 gauge looks KILLER but i wanted the lighting to be green.

I have the phantom boost and pyro guages with the red backlight. I like them alot and the red is bright at night. I dont do to much long distance night driving but the red light may get annoying to some you can also have the light white or green for those guages I believe. Here is a pic to help make your decision.

I really like that red like that though Admeyer, i think it looks good.
I do alot of night driving and i think that's why it bugged me so much.
