I have an 05 STI without the addon guage cluster for boost etc... What
should I be looking at that looks decently integrated with the stock system that will give me boost, oil pressure, etc... ?

Defi BF amber gauges
Boost
Oil pressure
EGT
you will need a controller as well, and need a 3 guage pod that replaces the clock pod.
should be around 700 total

if you want cheaper i've heard great things about ProSport. Not as high class as the defis but i've seen good reviews for the price you pay and plan to get some of my own down the road. they also provide the red glow and full sweep on startup. if you have the cash to blow though, the defis are the logical choice

Actually I think I'm gonna hit the Mad Dads as recommended by spazegun in chat.

I went with an autometer 2 pod bezel with Boost and EGT gauges. ($69 for bezel, $30 boost $122 EGT). The gauges are VDO Vision series. They look very similar to the factory gauges.
I will be at the next meet on thursday the 22nd if you'd like to see the set-up.
While I like the "idea" of an oil pressure gauge, I have found it to be useless when I've had them. I had two cars that had them and both had oil pumps fail. By the time you see the pressure drop on the gauge, (and you have to be watching it like a hawk) the damage is already done.
www.egauges.com has a very good variety at very good prices.
