I have a '97 F-250 that I want to add a set of gauges (EGT, Boost & Trans temp) to it. Which gauge manufacturers are recommended? And where to go to get the best price for everything needed? Will the gauges come complete with everything I'll need?

like my optix from ITP

I like my Isspro set, and I think that you will see that most folks here use either autometer or isspro. The absolute cheapest place to get them is www.egauges.com but I bought mine from www.dieselmanor.com. Both are site sponsors, but I went with Diesel Manor for their excellent kit that included absolutely everything that I needed to do the install and a great set of color instructions.

How much boost does a stock turbo produce? Does a Edge programmer effect the amount of boost producted? I'm wondering, because I don't know if I should get a 20, 40 or 60 lb boost gauge. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif

opps, I meant 30, 40 or 60 lb boost gauge.

go with a 40 lb. gauge. the edge will up the boost some but not enough that u will need a huge gauge. if u plan on other upgrades(injectors, custom tunes, turbo) then go with the 40 for now. if not, go with the 30

Belman, I used Autometer Ultra-Lites in my truck. They look and work great. Very easy finding a place selling them, find parts, or replace as well - if you're ever in a situation that would require such a thing. If you take the time and give Dale Isley from TYMAR a jingle, he'll take good care of you. Best luck with the decision making...so many cool looking gauges out there.
