6.0L gauges

I have a 2004 F350 6.0L supercab dually 4.10 rear end. I am going to use the ScanGauge II for engine oil temperature & engine coolant temperature. I am installing an engine coolant filter (XDP). I am installing a 4 gauge pillar pod for additional gauges. Please give me your advice on which 4 gauges would be most beneficial. Thanks for your help and Have A Great Day!

Try to find 4 that you can't read from the OBD2 port since the SG2 will read all of those.
Fuel Pressure
Low Pressure Oil Pressure
Coolant Pressure
Boost

Thanks, I'm using the scangauge for the eot & ect. What is the normal fuel pressure for the 6.0? It will help deciding which fuel pressure gauge to order. I will also use the egt gauge including the drill & tap of exhaust manifold. What is the normal boost range for the 6.0? It will help deciding which boost gauge to order. Give me your next choice for the 4th pod gauge.

Thanks! What is the normal oil pressure for the 6.0? Would you use the adapter for the filter location or use a mechanical after the HPOP?

Fuel pressure above 45 psi up to 70s. So a 0-100 works nice. Sensor location at the filter housing
Boost up to 28 psi.

Since you have a SG2 already, I would recommend
EGT 0-1600*F
Boost 0-40psi
Fuel pressure 0-100psi

Fourth one is your choice I guess.

I got my gauges at Diesel Manor since they had put together a really nice set of installation instructions and had good prices too.
