Gauge pods

I will be getting a pillar pod and gauges soon and need some opinions. I am going to do the Auber digital EGT gauge because its cheaper than a regular gauge. And i will be getting a boost and tranny temp cuz i got an auto. Now my question is... should i get a double pod for just those two or get a triple pod which is actually cheaper than a double pod and find another gauge to put in there? And what should that gauge be?

I looked it up and your still going to need the actual probe for the exhaust.

Digital EGT Thermometer/Pyrometer with analog output [SYL-1812RA] - $78.50 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry

I did the math real quick and I paid $145 for my pyro gauge kit (sensor and gauge), that auberins one runs like $115. So yea, it's a bit cheaper but when mounted my install will be cleaner.


I just bought my stuff from the diesel site (got a 3 pod pillar, pryo gauge, temp gauge and a trans cooler). I plan to add boost to the motor, so I opted to buy the 3 pod.

Hm, I haven't seen that particular link you just posted. This is what i had in mind.

Automobile Multimeter for EGT, Boost, Red [SYL-1813R] - $48.50 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry
for the gauge

EGT sensor with NPT thread [TC-KEGT-NPT] - $36.00 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry
for the sensor.

Which would come out to about $90

Also, Where would be a good place to get really good prices on some gauges. I was gonna go with Dipricol Optix but after talking with Dale at Tymar, They have discontinued them for some reason.

So what are some other options?
