I've been happy with my Isspro EV2. The Black face/red pointer/black bezel/green lighting matched my dash gauges
Pyrometer 0-1600ºF EV² - Riffraff Diesel Performance
I advise to get the unique drill bit (it's a letter "R" size bit) and 1/8" NPT tap kit when you purchase.

I went outside the norm and got this one on ebay. Came complete and works flawless for over a year now. I even hooked up a little alarm speaker that will go off if I hit a high temp that you set in the gauge. I chose this one because I wanted a clean in dash mounting.

It's called the "stacked blue spring mod", you put two blue springs with a Daisy BB in between them into the regulator, and it forces the injectors to run at 92-95psi. Combined with the Hercules PHP FICM tune, it's good for 110HP on the dyno. You have to install ARP's special injector hold down studs or the fuel pressure will blow the injectors right out of the heads.
But seriously, I just need to take another picture of the stupid thing when it's acting right. The holesaw I used was just a little too small, so the gauge was having sweeping issues when I first installed it because of how tightly it fit. Used a sanding drum on a dremel and went around the circle a few times and now it's fine. If you ever have an Isspro EV2 gauge that doesn't home all the way to zero correctly when it first turns on, pull it out of the bezel and see if that fixes the issue.

I didn't feel like it was tight at all, it "popped" into place and seemed alright. Now it's loose enough to rotate slightly in the dash, but doesn't come out any. It might have been more of an "out of round" issue with one spot of pressure at a bad place on the gauge, I drilled the hole from the back in reverse to keep the dash hole clean and might have gone through at slightly a wonky angle. I was doing it with the dash cover on my knees sitting on my couch, so it wasn't squared up in any way to it.
