Meaning it doesn't move that much, the full sweep is more accurate with percise temp fluctuations?

Meaning the full sweep gives more to look at. Mine does not move a whole lot, especially in the winter without any load. Does not mean it is not accurate, means there is not much to see.

I second this. When I install my Oil Press gauge I will also install a full Sweep Trans gauge to while I have the pillar apart!!

Mike......here's a view of the triple pillar gauges, and the DP single pod on the shifter collumn. I would DEFINITELY get this type of gauge for the DP.....whether you put it in the 4 pillar, or the collumn like mine is, it's definitely a SWEEET gauge! I love the look of the triple pillar gauges, and it doesn't really block much view of the road, and something to think about......you'll be staring at your gauges ALOT when you first get them installed.....it's really cool watching everything moving when ya haven't before....the overhead gauges will take your eyes off the road alot 
Ohh......and don't make the mistake I did. Don't get the 60 psi boosht gauge, get the 30 or the 40!

Travis, in that last pic are you only doing 2000 RPMs at 75 MPH, what gears are you running?

Well for me with the dipricols I went with 35 and I have hit 33 Before so I would say go for the 40 if that is all they offer. You will relay only see 15-25 with normal driving and towing but when your going all out it can get up there so I wound go with 40.

David from DM pretty much answered this. I am running a 35# gauge and it is more than sufficient for my setup. Makes a nice full sweep too.

I like my full sweep trans temp guage. I am also going to add oil temp for my WVO and a coolant temp guage. But Im curious if the HPOP pressure is worth having? Or another guage or two to fill the 3 or 4 pod above the rear view mirror????

The reasons for this have been posted many times. To sum it up, the stock turbo making 30#s is very possible with a good chip, but it is at it's limit and the charge is poor.

And that 33#s was some poor quality stuff too. I can make more power at 26#s than you can at the superheated 33# you may have seen. I am just saying that 35# gauge is more than enough. Anyone making over 35#s of good boost has a purpose built rig and will need a bigger gauge. Everyone else will be good with a 35-40# gauge and hopefully not make more than 30#s.

I would defiantly go for the DiPricols. They look killer during the day and just assume at night time!!

Well with the Dipricols and full sweep i,m looking at 450.00 versus Isspros at 327.00. It was hard enough to sell these gauges with the wife.
Plus going to Carlisle next month with my oldest, i think i'll stay with the Isspros.

Mike....look at is this way, ISSPRO gauges work exactly the same as Dipricol's do.....they just look different, but perform the EXACT same way. The money saved can get you almost 3 extra tunes for that DP TUNER
