Gauges?

Ok few quick questions. I am finally ordering the dp this week. I pulled the juice and evo out but now I have no gauges. I was looking at the quad pillar mount. Any suggestions. I didnt know if four gauges would look clustered or bad ***. Also, I know I need my egt's, my boost, then the dp in one hole. But what is the next important gauge that I need??

Trans temp if you have an auto. If you have a handshaker, you could do oil pressure or water temp.

Nuff said. The stock gauges are glorified idiot lights. It only really tells you if it's working or not. They do not move in relation to actual changes.

Check with Dennis@ ITP Diesel. I'm sure he can help you with whatever combination of gauges you want. He offers the 4 pod DIY kits.
