Time for Gauges!

I get to cross something off my wish list! I would like to get some opinions on gauges. I prefer the look of the white face and red pointer like the Autometer but I also see a lot of guys running the ISSPRO gauges.

I want to get the boost, EGT and tranny gauges. I want a turn-key system with all of the wiring and hoses included. And of course, I would like to get them at a reasonable price from a reputable supplier.

Opinions?

Re: Time for Gauges!

Used the dieselmanor kit on both my trucks. They paint the pillar and have the NPT taps needed for the job. Great outfit to deal with!

Re: Time for Gauges!

I just put in Isspro gauges in my X that I got from Ken's Performance. His prices were killer and he took very good care of me!

It took me about 4 hours but I was taking my time and being very careful..

The biggest one for me was the isspro tranny gauge needle sweeps from the center just like the boost and pyro. The diprocol sweeps the needle from the bottom of the gauge. Maybe a bit OCD but it would bother me to have one gauge on the pillar that looked different.

Dipricol now has a full sweep tranny guage in the Optix series. I love my optix guages. Incredibly easy to read at night.
