Gauge questions...

I am pricing gauges and I love the look of the Autometer Cobalt gauges..

I can get them off ebay brand new w/ shipping much cheaper than the internet.

If I turn around and buy a gauge pod and the wiring harness from ITP then is there anything I'm missing?

Also here are the links of the actual prices of gauges i'm looking at.

Trans Temp MSRP: $143 (Ebay: $94.90)
eBay Motors: AUTOMETER COBALT DIGITAL TRANSMISSION TEMP GAUGE 6949 (item 250305077357 end time Feb-03-09 13:40:29 PST)

Boost MSRP: 69.00 (Ebay: $ 59.90)
eBay Motors: Autometer Cobalt 0-60 PSI Turbo Boost Gauge 6105 (item 250343768148 end time Feb-13-09 19:09:10 PST)

EGT MSRP $176.95 (Ebay: $142.90)
eBay Motors: Autometer Cobalt Electric Pyrometer Gauge #6144 (item 260293790652 end time Jan-27-09 11:45:05 PST)

Please note that the ebay price include shipping.. the MSRP prices do not include shipping costs.

Thanks a bnuch guys.. I'm just trying to save a few bucks for college..

Those are pretty good prices. Are you sure you want a 60psi boost gauge? You can get a set DiPricols complete with the pillar mount from diesel manor for 399.

Gauge Kits Get the Di Pricol series they match the OEM dash perfectly. You do not want a 60PSI gauge I have one that came with my Isspro kit and I wish I had a 35 the stock turbo won't go over 30PSI unless you have some serious mods.

While your at ITP order the led lights for the gauges, they have something like a 10,000 hour life, should not need to take the gauge out and replace light bulbs. I put the green ones in my Autometer guages, looks like factory. Should run like 11.00 w/ shipping.
