Gauges
I thought I asked this question before, but cannot find it via search. Adding 4 gauges. Boost and Pyro are 2. What do you all recommend as the other 2? I am thinking
- Water Temp
-HPOP pressure
Thoughts?

Transmission temp, I mean water temp is a good one, oil pressure.... I would want to monitor ICP more than HPOP pressure which you would need scan gauges for that, can do with android and a dongle in your OBDII port. Not necessarily a big worry though unless you're having issues.

the HPOP supplies the pressure to your injectors, which the computer reads as ICP - Injector Control Pressure or something like that. If you want to read basic oil pressure for the engine that's different, which I'm fairly certain is what the stock gauge reads. I personally wouldn't be concerned about ICP or HPOP pressure unless your truck is running like crap or you're evaluating your HPOP to run Hybrid injectors or something like that.
You can monitor oil pressure if you want, and engine temp too (coolant) - I read the other day the temp on the gauge is EOT (Engine oil temp), which if you have digital gauges that's also an option to display. Just saying HPOP isn't one I would go for, the computer already reads that and you'd be measuring 3000+psi

ICP is output of HPOP.
So they mean the same.
ICP can be monitored from USB dongle but there's options for regular gauge too.
Coolant temp gauge is good because cluster gauge is basicly an idiot light.
Fuel pressure is important to be monitored from the fuel bowl.

I should have been more clear, but haste makes waste. 
I am installing 4 gauges in an A pillar pod. Going with this series.
https://www.glowshiftdirect.com/maxt...-gauge-series/
So, out of that series, what would you pick for the remaining 2 gauges?

4 gauge A-pillar pod for an OBS? Fuel pressure and EGT are the two most important gauges. Isspro is superior to Glowshift IMHO.

I have thinked about giving a try with MaxTow HPOP gauge.
Half the price or more than Autometer or IssPro.
I've read good reviews about MaxTow series.
"Glow****" stands for cheaper series..??
