I have the four-holer in mine, but I'll be using it for a forth gauge. I used the gauge-mount bracket DP sells instead. Uses the standard F5 switch and puts it right where you can get at it without even taking your hand off the wheel:
BTW, the forth gauge will be the DiPricol HPOP gauge. Just haven't gotten round to ordering it just yet...

What is the best deal you guys have found for the gauges? I have found a set of Isspro's and a four gauge pillar for 275 plus shipping. By the way these are going on my dads truck. I already have mine

Thats a very good deal if the gauges come with it. Is it 3 or 4 gauges to go with the 4 gauge pod? Is one hole for the DP-TUNER?

I just asked Dennis at ITP if he had one. He did and the price difference was less than a dollar. I knew I wanted four gauges eventually, so that's why I went with it. I paid about $350 for the set of DiPricols and the pillar mount. I didn't want cheap gauges, so I went with these because they match the stock cluster so well. That, and they have LED back lighting. No bulbs to screw with.

I wish I would have been as smart as you Joe. I have the 3 gauge mount and wishing for the 4. I don't think I will get the 4 anytime soon because I already installed my switch on the dash.

I just happened to see a 4-holer in a magazine or online and thought I'd ask if he had one. To be honest, I was just going to order the 3-holer, but there was a problem with his site and it wasn't processing credit cards, so I called him and it dawned on me to ask about it. If it wasn't for that, I'd have a 3-holer too.

pdx --> The "standard" three gauges are Boost, Tranny Temp (if you have an auto trans), and EGTs. Those are the most important to watch when you start fooling around with the "Dark Side" of PowerStrokin' (DP Tunes, etc...).

Thanks for the feedback. I noticed there are various levels of boost that the boost gauges come in such as I think i saw a 30, 40, and 100 listed as options. Which do I want. I have a factory turbo as it sits right now.
