Boost gauges?

I have had my truck for a week now. I love it. The previous owner had installed a tach and EGT both isspro gauges. I would like to get a boost gauge for the truck as well just to see what thats doing and for any future mods. What should I go with and whos got the deals? It seems like a good # of you seems to use the isspro gauges? I'm going to guess these are pretty good then.

My Isspro gauges have done me well- Just under 1 1/2 years. If you get one plan on min. of 40#- don't fall for the "I only need 30#" and then have to buy an new one in a few months.

I got mine at Diesel Manor, in there closeout section... I'm cheap.

Good Luck,
Michael

If you're on a budget and you don't care if it says "water", here's a cheap one.

Did you add the word "METH" to yours?

It would take a bit of work to do it.

That place sometimes has alternator tachs, I would hold out for one of them if you want a low budget tach. They are ones you have to wire in, so the install is not quite as simple as the AutoMeter 2888.
