Ordering gauges
Well i have had my truck just under a week and I'm wanting to order the EGT, Fuel press, Tranny temp, and boost gauges. I want to install them using the "A" pillar method. ( Not sure what to do about the fuel pressure gauge yet)
I like the looks of the autometer "Z" series gauges. thru Geno's garage.
Anybody have any input before i make my order?
How important is the boost? Or is it just a bling factor?

I don't think fuel pressure gauges are worth the money on a 12V truck, the boost gauge is of some importance but not nearly the scope of a EGT gauge. On the stock turbo you don't want to push the turbo over 38psi of boost.

You don't need a fuel pressure guage as said above. A total waste of money IMO on a 12V.
Get a boost gauge that goes from 0-60 not the 0-30 ot 05 ones. That leaves tranny and egt whcih will fit in a three guage a pillar
