Probably a good price but the ISSPRO gauges have "power modules" for the tranny and pyro gauges. You must find a place for them under your dash and zip tie them up somewhere. They have termination points for the power and gauge signals. Kind of a poor gauge and power design IMHO.

All other guage manufacturers do not have these modules and wire direct to the sensors and to the power point of your choosing.

I think MotorHaven's prices are comperable. Have you checked them out?

Black Triple Mount $49.95
ISSPRO Pyrometer (pre-turbo) $84.95
Pyrometer Thermocouple $46.94
Pyrometer Lead-Wire $9.89
ISSPRO Boost Gauge $41.95
ISSPRO Transmission Temp Gauge $91.95

Total: $325.63

Does the quote you mentioned include the thermocouple and lead-wire for the pyro?

I have used Autometers for years and never had a problem. Great quality, accurate, good looks, great variety of styles and faces, easy installation, easy to find accessories, etc.

Priorities in selecting gauges for me is accuracy 1st, durability 2nd, ease of installation 3rd, parts and accessory availability 4th, aesthetics 5th, price 6th.

Standard pyro, tranny and boost in the "A" pillar.

Under dash pod; mechanical oil pressure, coolant temp and voltmeter.
(Wished I went with the differential temp instead of the voltmeter, had a brain fart, I still may remove the voltmeter and replace it anyway).
