Default Gauges

Ditching my EJWA old school gauges. I am looking to get a pillar and steering console combo. I am thinkin boost, trans temp, egt, and rail pressure. I like the look of the pillar but don't like the thought of losing my grab handle. Ideally I think a dual gauge on pillar and dual steering console would look nice but have just seen single pod with handle. Anyone seen a double gauge pod with grab handle?

Also debating on factory match or autometer phantom. I was thinking of putting the green covers over the white light to match factory cluster. Has anyone done this or seen if it matches well?

I've about come to terms with a triple pillar and single steering console gauge but figured I'd ask here before pulling the trigger and losing my handle.. Any help is appreciated!

You can get the SRT pillar setup. It's 1 gauge pod with a grab handle. You could run the dual steering wheel pod as well. Being its an 06 I'm guessing from your sig you could get the pod that goes on your dash (I believe it holds 4 gauges).

They are kind of high but there is a 3 pod setup for much less.

Haha- little steep! spoke with autometer and the phantom green is different than the factory match. I'll be doing triple pillar with the factory match and console gauge! Best looking/cost effective way to do it

So I lied- after more shopping I pulled the trigger on edge CTS2 - I was told by EDGE rep that we can use this to switch EFI tunes on the fly. Has anyone heard of this/tried EFI tune changing?

i have a cts, not the cts2 and i like having the cps5. i dont think i would like having to look at the cts2 and reaching forward to switch tunes. the cps5 is a better way to switch tunes i think. if you are still looking at gauges, i recommend getting an oil pressure gauge and fuel pressure, if the cts2 monitors tranny temp. i have the G56 so i dont monitor tranny temp. i have the pillar with autometer factory match boost, DP and fuel pressrue. i plan on getting a oil pressure gauge.

I was after boost, trans temp, rail pressure, and egt- cts2 reads all those through obd2 with the exception of the egt probe- I don't switch my tunes a whole lot - if I do it usually is not on the fly. I bought it for back up camera too for hooking up my trailer - comes in today I'll report back how it is

Demo mode sucked- overall it's pretty good not as great as I thought it was gonna be. The layouts are not as customizable as I was thinking. Custom backgrounds won't load right. EAS is easy to hook up and the readings seek accurate. It takes about 40 seconds to load after starting the truck which seems like a long time considering EJWA was instant load up

After adding turbo timer and back up camera neither work correctly. Turbo timer does not shut down at desired egt but runs for a timed segment still. Back up camera will kick on only if cycled in and out of reverse a few times. Also "my style" images do not appear the correct size. I called and they told me to update the unit. After updating still the same issues. Calling again today
