I am looking for a reasonable priced, and easy to install piro gauge preferably with a boost gauge as well... I don't care if they are both on the same gauge or 2 seperates... Can someone recommend a "POD" design with gauges that is not going to break the bank?

 

look on ebay for glowshift, they are pretty cheap, but don't know how good they are. someone will chim in with better ideas. also look at some of our sponsors sites they carry tons of different types.

 

The prosport/spw/megan gauges on ebay are way better than glowshift- if you want blackout style gauges. Those are some of the best.

You can get a pillar mount pretty cheap from glowshift and put other gauges in it.

 

I got the triple A-pillar pod with autometer pyro, trans and boost from egauges.com for 271 and change.

 

Look at these, http://www.dieselmanor.com/gauges/gauge_kits_psd.aspEasy to install and matches well.

 

I thought I had a steal the other day on a trans temp gauge. $9.99 at Advance Auto.

Went to install it and the probe would not fit into the test port of the trans.

 

In installed the SPW pyro and tranny gauge in a custom mount for ~$100. Everything fit perfectly. I figured that would be enough, but gauges have been my pms lately.

the fuel and oil pressure will be going in within the next couple of weeks.

 

Can you point me to a link?

I think all I want is a cheap tranny gauge, but I could probably be talked into more.

 

This is a very affordable and good quality gauge (they will take an even $30 total for it). I wish it said trans on it instead of just oil, but it works 100%. All you need to provide is the wire from the sending unit to the actual gauge.

Thanks for the link.

Hopefully the probe will fit in the tiny test port.

What gauge wire do you suggest I run? I would imagine that 18 gauge would be heavy enough.

Any suggestions on what to use as a bracket to just allow it to hang from the underside of the dash?

 

Probe fits perfect. Use some rtv and do not over tighten.

I ran #12 wire, but i am a liitle nuts. 16 would be minimal for me.



But if you don't want to cut into your dash:
