Default gauges

Hey. I'm wanting some gauges for my 90 model. I really want boost,egt. What else should I get? And should I do the pillar mount or dash? And how do you hook those up? I seen some people drilling holes in their intakes but I didn't really want holes in it for boost.

get transmission temp also since its an auto. And you dont drill a hole into your intake. you pull one of the bolts out of the intake manifold and then hook the boost bolt into the intake manifold

Okay. Where would you hook trans temp? What other gauge would be the best? Pyrometer?

No clue, I hate auto's. Yes pyro is a must in any diesel.

Fair enough. whatever works I just know I'd blow it up. then it'd sit till I could afford a performance build.
