Default In need of gauges and advice.

Well I'm looking for gauges finally.

Going with the 3 pod pillar.

Not sure what brand to go with or what style, I am quite partial to black faces with green lettering.

Going with a 60# boost
1600* EGT
and a Tranny temp

I want electrical don't like running hoses when I can run wires.

So let me hear about what you guys recommend.

I thought I would ask you guys before I posted up for a quote. No sense in the sponsors dealing with my lack on knowledge

Isspro match the OEM guages the best. Get blue bulb covers. I have Isspro EV Series. Make sure you get the EV (enhanced visibility) or performax series.

The boost guage will be mechanical. Just get some 1/8" airbrake line at an autoparts store and the correct fittings - its dead easy to install. The other two are electric guages.
