Default gauges?

Looking to put some pillar mounted gauges,fuel press, boost, and maybe exhaust temp.
Any suggestions, good luck/ bad luck?

ISSPRO, and westach. I wouldent worry about boost as much as I worry about EGTS.
You get what you pay for.

Nothing but good luck with my Auto Meters. ISSPRO's are excellent as well. Stay away from GlowShift, they seem to be inconsistent quality. Some have good luck, others repeated bad luck.

egt = exhaust gas temp
If you have an auto trans and tow a lot a trans temp gauge is also a good idea. A good set of gauges are expensive so you might even consider an edge juice or quadzilla adrenaline as they have gauges built in. I've seen some used edges sell on ebay and craigslist for $350.

Stick with the mechanical guages, make sure you get a snubber for the fuel pressure guage. I don't trust electronic guages. Gotta like the old school guages

Fuel psi,boost and egt. Dont really need trans temp if you you have a manual. Tho if you to a lot and have a auto you should have one. Dont really need boost gauge unless you are modded. Some people dont like the edge with the gauges. Tho I do because I can set alerts and set it to defuel if anything is out of ranger(weather it be too high or low) I dont have to stare at my gauges all the time while driving.
