"Do I buy a gauge that goes to 15 psi, 30 psi, or the one that has 0-30 In.Hg. and 0-25 psi combined?"
Don't even bother with a gauge that only reads to 15 psi. The 0-30 In.Hg and 0-25 psi combined gauge will be best since you describe yur stock gauge as being "pinned in the red zone" I'll take that to mean about 20 psi easily of boost pressure. This gauge will also be great because it reads vacumn and that can be helpful for engine maintance/diagnostics. I have the gauge that reads 0-30 In.Hg and 0-20 psi of boost, when I first got it I was only getting it to read about 15 psi, but now things are different and I can reach 20 psi most of the time. Kinda makes we wish I had the up 25 psi gauge now.
"I need to buy a VDO gauge since I have an oil pressure gauge and an oil temp gauge from Saab, and want them to match (VDO made for Saab)."
If your meaning that you want the gauge to have SAAB printed on its face, then good luck. I haven't seen one that was specific to SAAB's and don't know if they were ever made, however the ones you'll find on line and made by VDO wil be a good fit and no one will notice that of your THREE gauges, one doesn't say SAAB.
"How does the combination gauge work? When the turbo isn't being used, the In.Hg. measurement shows that, and when the turbo kicks in the psi measurement is what is read?"
EXACTLY!!
See Ya,
Phil
