Would have been a lot easier if you purchased a multi gauge display like the Edge Insight with the probe for EGT's and a fuel pressure gauge. All you would have to do is plug it into your OBD11 port and just drill one hole in your exhaust manifold for your egt's & than just run the fuel pressure to your fuel regulator test port.Your oil temp;coolant temp;volts;& trans temp would all work through you OBD11 port. Just My .02

I don't know where you read that. I have the edge 83400 mounted in my 03 If reads everything except fuel pressure only because it is not supported through the OBD11 port on our vehicles. It will read EGT's with the optional probe. Everything else it will monitor!!!! Is is cheaper going this way I think than purchasing all the gagues. I know you said you ordered the glow-shift gauges and they are pretty reasonable priced. I also have a glowshift fuel pressure and volt. I only have the volt because again it is not supported in the 03's. I believe you have an 06 so volts are supported in that year. Hope this helps!!
This is where I purchased my Edge & Probe and they offer free next day air shipping!!!
Edge Products Insight Multi-Gauge Display

I forgot to mention it allso monitors boost and more!!
