Reasonable Pyrometer, trans gauges

Does anyone have suggestions where I can get Reasonable set of Pyrometer, trans gauges. Appearance is not a big issue for me but they must function correctly.

Thank you in advance,

Kurt

I don't know your price range, but I've had good experience with the ISSPRO EV series gauges. I've also had a good experience with "Ken's Performance Solutions" for both price and customer service (he was the cheapest I found on the net for the ISSPROs). Cheers!

Gauges

I just bought a fuel pressure gauge from WWW.Glowshift.com and I really like it. I can switch from 7 different colors, sweep through all or just keep it on one. Definately worth a look also real easy installation. For the "pod" I mounted in the strip of metal that goes across the front windshield. I painted a piece of pvc pipe it looks good IMHO.

You can probably tell from my signature which brand of gauges I would recommend

Pre-turbo. Put the sender in the exhaust manifold. Not a tough job at all.

If you haven't installed your guages yet at least get a boost guage install kit from ITP diesel much much better quality than what comes with the guage on any brand. I would reccomend a guage kit for all guages you intend to install I have done it in 4 trucks and the last one with the kit was the easiest and cleanest.
