| pyrometer and boost gauges
wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction here. I would like to put a pyrometer and boost gauge combo in my truck as i just bought a travel trailer. I've narrowed my choices down to the autometer gauges, but not sure which ones I should be getting? Can anyone give me some input. I also don't want to spend a fortune either, i just got a price from the shop where I bought my exhaust and chip and the can put them in for 650 installed. I'm kinda thinking this is a bit much. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

| Ya that is a high price. Is that canadian $$ or american $$? The gauges arent real expensive but there kinda a pain and hard to install. That might be where alot of the price is comming from.
Anyway I have auto meter ultra lite II's in my truck and am real happy with them. There silver during the day and turn to a black back ground at nite so there not so blinding.

| Autometer has a variety of choices you can choose from. You can have black face, white face, digital, antique looking, water filled, mechanical, electronic, and in some, you can change the LED to change the color of the gauge.
I would suggest visiting here and seeing what suits your fancy.

| I think I'm gonna go with the ultra lite II's is a 35psi boost gauge enough and also is a 1600F EGT gauge enough, just don't want to have to change the gauges out later on down the road. found a site on the net where I can get a pillar combo kit for around 250 us. thanks for the help guys!
