Take a look here:

If you have an e40d tranny you can use the pressure post near the TR (Trans Range) selector on the driver side of the tranny.
BTW: I have isspro gages and love 'em. They are a bit more $$$ but reliability has a price tag. There cheaper gages (autometer ect) but some of them have problems. Especially EGT gages. The probes seem to go bad. Some can and do break. If you probe is mounted pre-turbo (most accurate place) well...you can imagine what happens when a chunk of that probe gets loose and the next thing it sees it is your turbo spinning around at 20,000 RPM.

I also bougth ISSPRO gauges, I think they match very well with the dash and dont forget to buy the little color covers for the bulbs as your prefereable color, I forgot to do it and I dont have them, I need the green color, to match more with the stock in the dash.
my problem is I have to import them 
Im thinking to paint them with a vitral green color.

RÖENTGEEP, call dieselmanor, put them on a credit card and have them mail them to you. Let them know that you live in Mexico. If that does not work let me know, and I will get them and mail them to you.

Some autometer are good, didn't mean to bash them. You will get what you pay for, autometer too! If you are installing the EGT probe pre-turbo, spend the $$. THe other gages are less important IMO. No matter what brand gages I install they are tested against my infrared thermometer for accuracy.
