What gauges do I need to purchase and install before I get my exhaust, intake and SCT Programmer?

Thanks for the input.

Pyrometer, Boost, Tranny temp. Those are the three that are recommended.

It is also recommended that you install the Pyro in the exhaust manifold for the most accurate reading.

EGT's Trans Temp and Boost

I'll take some tommarrow. It looks good (I think). I have them just to the left of the a/c switches in the square that's molded into the dash. I think in a 4wd it's where those switches are. I'll get 'em

haha ... I was thinkin of the same spot, it looks like it has a cut out molded in to it. I didnt think 2 guages would fit in the spot, our wreckers have a pannel there for all the switches for rotating lights, strobes, loading lights etc



love to see how it looks

I just barely hangs over each side. the only problem I had was that I cut first, measured second. I wound up cutting out one of the clips that holds the dash to the truck. oops! I really didn't have a choice, though. The guy I bought the truck from had a cell phone holder there and there were some holes that I wanted to cover up. Just don't put them at the bottom of the square. I'll get some pics

CJ, I posted a couple of pics in my garage. If you put them up a little bit, in the middle of the square, you'd probably miss the clip

Hey Bryan, Got any trouble seeing them from where you sit?
Do you have to lean over to see them straight on?
BTW, nice job.
 
#18 ·
No, I can see them alright. Not as good as if they were in the pillar, but I don't have to lean over. I can see the egt clear, and the boost kinda through the steering wheel.
