Boost gauge/controller and temp recommendations

I have a R56 2008 Mini Cooper S and want to get a boost gauge with intergrated boost controller and an exhaust temp gauge. I really like Alta's combo and will most likely buy thier tach Pod, but they don't offer the intergrated boost controller.
Wanted to know what you guys have used and get some recomendations.

You want to search the archives and see how many (actually, how little) people have tried a boost controller and removed it as its too intrusive to the ECU.
Remember, if you're wanting to increase the output power, do so with proper ECU programming as the wastegate controls are electronically controlled.
When you try to override the ECU's input / output functions, you will run into drivability and performance issues.
