Yeah I got the ISSPRO 3 gauge a-pillar kit with EGT, Boost, and Trans Temp. They are the gauges with the amplifier boxes, so I had to make some space to install them under the steering column, but it wasn't all that hard. The boost gauge is mechanical and I hooked that up in all of 15 minutes.
The pillar went in easy too, though I had to make a little notch at the bottom for the electrical connections and boost line to come through.
It came with all the necessary hardware, and I also ordered the drill bit and tap which was like $7 extra. It worked great. You do need the tool the spin the tap with though, it doesn't include that, but since I had one it worked out fine.
The one problem I do have is I don't understand how or where I am supposed to hook up the transmission temperature gauge. Because I mounted the amplifier box under the steering column, and it doesn't seem to have a long enough wiring to reach the sender to even the stock transmission temperature port... So I guess I need to find some kind of extension?
Anyway, it is a good kit and I would recommend it. The A-Pillar pod I got was made by Glo-Shift, but all the gauges were ISSPROs.

I have the isspro boost,egt, and fuel press. kit from them. Great kit! I think the pod could be of a little higher quality, but I can't complain over all. You will have to make up a wire harness for the gauge lights, but thats no biggie. Mine only had one mounting screw and cap for the pod, so I had to go to autozone and buy some plastic retainers and drill a couple holes in it to mount it to my old a-pillar trim.
