Default GAUGES

I am looking for some gauges and would like some input from site members. I need A turbo drive pressure 0 to 100 psi (exhaust backpressure), Two IAT (intake air temp) and two boost gauges 0 to 60 psi (these 2 are the easy ones to find). I have VDO VISION BLACK SERIES 2 1/16 inch mounted in my a pillar and wanted to match these,(they are basically all black with white #s and red needles) but I can't find any so I may have to settle for something close or change out the ones I have to match any new ones that I install. Any suggestions welcome.

Yea, Vision black series VDO, That's what I have but it looks like I'll be replacing them so I can have all matching gauges. I need IAT and turbo drive pressure and and a few other gauges but VDO doesn't even make a boost gauge that goes above 60 PSI let alone a turbo drive pressure or IAT gauge. So tell me who was # 61 fo Dallas in 1994?

yeah your probably going to have to get a gauge from somwhere alse if you want matching boost and drive pressure gauges. why would you need more then 60psi, this is going on a dmax. are you planning on running twins?

they make aftermarket digital gauges that can have multiple readouts at the same time that fits in a 2-1/16 hole.

Who makeds a QUALITY ACCURATE & RESPONSIVE dual readout IAT or Boost gauge? Oh, by the way all of this is going into a very custom 6.5 diesel Suburban that I bought from Nate Newton in 1994 with 12 k on it. Thought you may get a kick out of that being a Dallas fan.

No. I did not met him personally but it still has the Weld wheels that he had "BACK TO BACK SNOOP HOGGY HOG #61" machined into the centercaps. I have done alot of things to modify the truck since I bought it in August of 1994. I have done a DS4 to DB2 conversion along with quite a few other mods and I am planning on putting a P400 in it and I want a turbo drive pressure gauge and pre and post intercooler IAT and BOOST gauges.
