They also came with no parts to hook up the boost.

Seems like he will be getting awful close to what I paid for my Autometers once he gets them completely done. I just didnt have any headaches with mine. He paid 250 or so, mine was 309 with pillar and paint to my door.
Do you have personal experience with them? I'm not interested in my buddy's got them. Isn't the pyro and the exhaust gauge the same one? Or do you mean trans temp? My auto-meters only came with a tee to hook up the boost line and it wasn't the right size.

I have the glowshift gauges also, just recently the egt gauge went crazy, the gauge will go all over the place, even at an idle, can't seem to get it to correct it self. Tried unplugging it and tracing wires. Nothing seems to work. Bought them about a year ago for 200 bucks, great deal... just wished it would have lasted a little longer

i dont know about glowshifts. however i am using dipricols in my truck now. i love them, i also ran stewart warners before that. they worked great as well. and before that i ran autometer pro comps. i HATED them i think autometers are junk. i can say that because i HAVE USED them.

Functionally no. I didn't screw that up.

I did screw up a little, his headlight switch now works as his ignition. But that means nothing for the accuracy of the gauges.

Not to hyjack, but I didn't get much response from my previous post. Auber makes a digital gauge, if you like that.

DIGITAL EGT THERMOMETER PYROMETER W/ PROBE-NPT:eBay Motors (item 190286130898 end time Sep-08-09 15:26:42 PDT)

The gauge itself is multi-function, so you can program it for EGT, boost, etc depending on how you wire it. Seems pretty cool. You can set minimums and maximums, wire in an alarm when they are met or trigger an external circuit. Pretty reasonable too.

Any thoughts?
