gauge cluster
Hey everyone. I am looking at putting in some gauges before doing some of the other mods on my pick up. (96 PSD Crew Cab) Any body have any recomendations for the three gauge cluster (boost, egt, trans temp) on the A Pillar. Looking for reliability, ease of installation, and economical of course.
Thanks

I've always had good luck with Autometer gauges. For ease of installation use a "T" fitting in the MAP sonsor hose for the boost, and a clamp on style thermocouple in the up pipe just aft of the drivers side exhaust manifold for the pyro.

well i'm not cookie (he is the man!) but i used the clamp on style before i drilled and tapped the hole!
i got both gauges (boost and pyro) from automneter, the ultralites! i love'em, very slick looking aluminum look and the green bulb filter makes it look stock! there is nothing wrong with the clamp on style probe but it makes for a much cleaner install and setup for you to just thread it in the manifold!
i highly recommend doing the pyro probe pre-turbo so the readings are more accurate. theres a good place on the driver side of the truck looking up at the motor, the manifold comes down and thats the best candidate from drilling!
i paid $200 exactly to my door for the 2 gaues and the a-pillar pod from jegs! very pleased

I use ISSPRO gauges. I have the three gauge cluster on the left pillar, I think I bought it from DPP (see ad on this site)
No problems with these gauges, make sure to get the green bulb sleeves so the light matches your dash.
