Default spec vs gauges

I'm looking to install gauges but am unsure of some of my trucks specs.
What is the normal/best range for a boost gauge running a stock turbo. I have +55 POD injectors, what would be the ideal temp for pyro? One more question, does anyone know what the average operating temp is for an AT?

Thanks in advance guys!

90cummins, that's a pretty looking gauge pod. Where'd you come across that if you don't mind me asking?

you max out a 35 psi boost gauge?? Is that a stock turbo? I was looking at a 30 psi, glad I didn't purchase it yet.
