6.7 Boost Gauge Installation Question
I am looking into ordering a SRT-10 single gauge pod and an autometer phantom 2 boost gauge for my truck. I would like to know the proper way of hooking it up to the 6.7. I tried searching and didnt come up with the answer to my question. Any words of wisdom or links would be greatly appreciated.

SRT10 pillar $40 plus shipping:
https://www.dodgeparts.com/product_i...oducts_id/2407
My dealer is on the up and up I can get it for $40 and NO shipping cost from them. Some dealers mark stuff up. Regardless it's a good link to bookmark for brand new OEM dodge stuff: www.dodgeparts.com
Sorry no help on the boost gauge install but I would recommend instead of the autometer a westach "dual gauge" (boost + egt) from geno's for that SRT10 pillar. http://www.genosgarage.com/products.asp?dept=95 If you want gauges that match the factory cluster dipricols are the way to go. Genos has autometers, westachs, dipricols, isspros whatever brand you want. They also sell overpriced SRT10 pillars Suggest you check pricing everywhere dieselmanor etc. Maybe even the DTR store sells gauges? I don't know. They sell all kinds of stuff here would be best to support the site if they do..

I got my boost bolt from diesel manor in a 3 gauge kit.
It took about a half an hour to install,
just remove the four 8mm bolts holding the plastic shroud on.
Then remove the intake manifold bolt. 10mm
If I remember correctly it was the second bolt back from the front of the engine, clostest to the head.
1/4" drive socket set with a swivel is all you need.

Ditch the AutoMeter and get a Westach Combo Gauge :
You'll need to monitor your EGT's as well.
Geno's Garage carries them.

Unless I go with a Fuel Pressure Gauge in an SRT/10 mount (I had one in my 2003 RAM 2500) and a Quad Commander, I'll be doing the Westach in my 2007.5 .

just my two cents worth but have you looked at the BD x-monitor, it is low profile and has a memory, i've had both styles and I have problems seeing by the piller stock let a lone with the piller pod,but both are better than the no choice dodge gives us good luck

thanks for the posts guys.
I have always had better luck reading an analog gauge at a glance over a digital screen. With the SRT Pod i can acheive that while retaining an OEM appearance. I am planning on getting a full diesel tuner setup eventually. (one that will provide the screen for all the other readouts that i will be needing with the additional power gains.)
(Noob Question) What is the max boost that a stock 6.7 puts out anyway? I just posted the gauge photo because i wanted to show the type i was looking at. Im glad you all told me the 35 psi one would not be enough
