Isspro EV-2... Buy your gauges once, buy a quality gauge.

Glowshift gauges are a decent gauges. I ran them in my old 97 for about 6 months with no problems.
I've heard some people say they crap out in less than a year and some people say they last much longer. Also some say they aren't accurate when compared to a "good gauge", I've never compared, so I can't personally say this.

As for my opinion I would go with a different gauge than glowshift if I need them next time. the only reason I say that is because I thought they were ugly !

There is a reason they cost what they do. "Do it once, do it right"

Take one apart and you will see why they are cheap.

Boost, Pyro, and if you have an auto trans, a trans temp gauge.

Fuel pressure is a must for a vp44 pumped truck, but not necessarily "required," just helpful for others.
