I would suggest guages and a custom chip. I bought mine from Tony Wildman of Total Diesel Performance (http://members.***.net/totaldieselperformance/total%20diesel%20performance.html). I have a 4 position chip that plugs directly into the PCM and a 4 position **** on the dash. It's better than the programmers because you can get the chip programs custom made for your type of driving/hauling, plus you can change the setting on the fly. For example; I have 2 tow programs (1 for the flats & one for the hills), a daily drive and a gimme all you got setting. You won't need the programmer any longer unless it can read codes. Then you might want to keep it around for that.

If you have the $ you can upgrade the turbo or stick an ATS housing & wicked wheel on the stock turbo. There are many options on this route! Have fun!

Check out Dieselmanor.com as an option for guages. The ISSPRO match the stock guages. The instructions are awesome for the do-it-yourself'er, color photos and step by step. Their kits come with everything needed, no need to run to the autoparts store.

South Bend Clutch, CON OFE is the model. Give Larry a call and tell him I sent you. I can't think of anything he doesn't carry. Call for the best price.
