Guage options
I am looking at ISSPRO guages from Diesel mannor for my truck. I am looking at the three guage pack and wondering whitch thermocouple option to get. I am leaning toward the weather pack connector that taps into the turbo up pipe.
1. Should I go with this or tap into the exhaust manifold?
2. It says the guage pod is black. How did you fellas make it match your trim?
3. It also says 2-3 hrs to install. Is this realistic?
4. Should I go with 30, 40, or 60 on the boost?
Thanks

1. I did the manifold tap
2. Just buy the paint that matches your inside color and spray it on there
3. I would say fairly so, maybe longer if your not too experiance with doing stuff like
like or could be shorter if you were to do it all the time.
4. I went with 60 because the range of display, I could see exactly what psi the turbo
was putting out. In all honesty most people would tell you that going over 30 psi
looking at some damage for any lengthy time period. so you really don't need it
30, but like I said I liked the range of display.

Here is where I just bought the paint for my guage pod. I haven't taken the time to paint it yet but it is supposedly a perfect match. They give free shipping to FTE members.

I got my gauges from ITP Diesel (also a site sponsor), and they send the paint in the box with your stuff (give them your interior code). I preferred the DiPricol Optix series instead of the others because of how well they match the OEM gauges and they have LED lighting. I also got a four-gauge pod sent as well. I'm adding oil pressure to the usuals...
