Scangauge in the cubby hole, and Isspro EGT and fuel psi. One of these days I'll fill the 3rd hole in my pod....

The cubby hole is perfect for the Scangauge

My F650 dash when I first got it. Boost gauge installed and one open spot reserved for air pressure


I have a dual overhead pod between the headliner and rearview mirror for my egt and fuel pressure

Standard A-pillar for me. Top to bottom: Boost, EGT, Trans Temp. I found based off how tall I am and where I have the seat that the middle pod was the natural spot my eyes would fall while glancing left, and with the hills and whatnot where I live EGT was most crucial out of the three. That and I can see the warning light (programmed Isspro EV2's) in my peripheral the best in the middle pod as well.

I have an overhead and cubby pod waiting to go in currently, just need to figure out what gauges I want to run. When it's all settled I plan on replacing the A-pillar trans temp with a second EGT gauge for the passenger side, moving the trans temp to the overhead with oil and coolant temp, then most likely having pressure for oil and fuel in the cubby pod along with an air pressure for the helper bags when they get installed. Figure it'd make sense to keep crucial gauges in my face, then all temps and pressures in the same areas.

Gonna be a damn glow-fest when it's done lol.

I used Glowshift 3 n 1 on the A pillar and kept the handle in place. Exaust temp, Fuel pressure and Boost then under the dash oil temp and coolant temp. I also got a Dashboss but dont have a picture of that. They all work well.

Trans Temp/Oil Temp - F650 Dash Panel:


Everything else, UltraGauge:

...the UltraGauge is now up at the top left of the windshield via the suction cup mount...will probably move it to the center GPS/Phone mount (Kuda):

I mounted my insight to the top of the dash below the grab handle. I use that handle too much to EVER think of giving it up! It's in such a strategic position for getting in the truck:



It's misaligned, but no worry, it's held on with super duper velcro stuff that doesnt seem to release without an act of Congress...I'll adjust it later:



Now to do some driving!

So I figure this would be the best place to ask, what would be better, getting a 4 gauge pod with dedicated gauges for HPOP, Boost, Pyro, trans, or go with the EDGE Insight CTS Data Monitor? I am not running any tunes at this time, so I just want to keep a very good watch on what is going on. Thoughts?

Thanks!

My Livewire TS monitors just about everything...you don't have to run any tunes, but you can...

I'll post a picture of it later...

Personally, I love my individual pillar gauges. I DO wish I had gone with a four-pod instead of the three so I could have an EGT for each side. Unless there's a custom dual-read gauge for EGT, then I'd fill the fourth with fuel pressure.
