Installed New Gauges

I just put in my gauges last night and they work and look great. I got mine from Diesel Manor they had great instructions and it helped. I also put in a dual releif in the mapp line. I dilled the hole in the up pipe and put in the clamp style Thermocouple. I really like the look of the isspro white faced gauges they go well with my white faced/flame gauge cluster.

do you think the WW would help build even more power for the money?

Nope. The WW will only help prevent turbo stall/surge.

Agreed, and it also sings like a big rig when spooled.

What color is your back lighting on the gauge cluster? I was about to order plain white until he said it would only backlight blue, I was looking to go red.

the flames are red with blue tips they also had one that the flames moved with the sound of you music but I thought that might be a LITTLE to much for me.

I used the tap style. IMO it seals up better than the clamp style

DIFFERENT COLORS ARE AVAILABLE AT ANY LOCAL DIESAL PERFORMANCE SHOP THAT SELLS AND STOCKS GAUGES.

WHAT I HAVE IS GREEN BACK LIGHTING LIKE THE FACTORY ONES ARE IN THE DASH.
THEY ARE LIKE LITTLE CONDOMS THAT SLIP OVER THE LIGHT BULBS.
JUST SLIP ONE ON A BULB AND THERE YOU ARE >>>>>

I was talking about the fac gauges that I put a new face on so that it looks nothing like the factory one.

To change what I discribed them as they are red flames with yellow tips on the flames. the backlighting of the gauge #'s are greenish blue just like the Isspro white faced gauges that are in my pod.
