Default help naming this boost gauge

hey all so a fellow forum user mitchello has this boost gauge in his car and i love it and am trying to track down another, which is hard when you have no idea if its genuine or what. these are the pictures of it, any guesses or even if you know i would love to hear from you




the only guess i've heard so far is a mate thinks its the boost gauge from an xr5 put into the fairmont clock surround... anyone with a xr5 have that shaped gauge?

Don't think it's XR5, they have a tri-gauge pod thing:



The gauge I've got is a direct fit into the Fairmont housing.

It's not an XR5 gauge, in fact it's not from ford at all.

The housing is from a Fairmont (or Fairmont Ghia?) and originally housed a clock.

Gauges to suit these housings were around 4-5 years ago but i think are hard to find these days. One thread I have found suggested they were Boostworks gauges.
