Which one do I Want?

I got ready to order my gauges from DieselManor but ran into a problem.
1) Which one of the boost gauges do I want? I am stock...moderate at most towing.
2) Which thermocoupler do I want?

THANKS

30 psi boost should be good for your rig.
Pyrometers should all be about the same i believe. Pre-turbo is the preferred flavor these days.

drill and tap thermocouple and most likely 30 or 35 psi boost gauge will be fine i assume.

1. 30 lbs like the other fellas said
2. I think you're referring to Drill and Tap or Clamp-On style. Both will work just as well as the other, it's just a difference of ease of installation. The clamp on will be easier, but the drill and tap isn't tough, either. If you were to ever remove it to sell to someone or for whatever reason, it's easier to plug the manifold with the drill and tap, as opposed to plugging the uppipe with the clamp-on style.
