Started Gauge Install last night
After looking at all the gauge choices, I went with ISSPRO from DieselManor because of the pictures and instructions they have on their website. They also include all fittings and lines for just about every possible place you could put the gauges--ended up with all kinds of brass bushings/electrical line/vacuum line left over that wasn't needed for my particular install. They also painted the underdash mount to match. Their pics of the wires to tap were great.

I have had the gauges here for a few weeks - just too busy. But I reprogramed my 2004 2 weeks ago - to the 65hp level with my Predator. So I figured this weekend was a good time to do it. Using previous posts - and the manuals that came from Banks - I have the job partially done tonight. I bought the 3 gauge dash top mount, boost and pyro gauges from Banks. I bought a 150 psi oil pressure gauge from Autometer.
The hook up of the Boost gauge was easy. The pyro took a little more effort. I ended up taking the manifold off the engine to drill and tap for the thermocouple. During the removal I found that one of the bolts holding the turbo pipe coupling to the manifold had been bent and overtorqued which pulled threads. That made removing it hard - and I am going to have to wait until Monday when the dealer opens to get the special bolt to put that back together. I will put the oil pressure unit in tomorrow - I have taken pictures of some of this - and will post them when I am finished.
