i have installed the Edge over head like that and it is very simple now the only problem is finding a way to conceal the wires leading to the gauges..

Just a question. On the autometer guages, I was told at the diesel shop that was going to install them (not yet) that I had to get a wire extension to get the guage to go overhead. Can you run regular wire or does it have to be autometers wire addition cause the run is longer than the wires supplied with the sensor?

take a look at the ends of the wires supplied. As long as there just the regular copper wire, then you should be able to use whatever you want. If there something special other than regular copper, then you'll probably have to use special extentions. Somebody else who has the gauges will be able to tell you better than me though.

Our most popular kits are the ISSPRO EV series.
DieselManor - Gauges
most folks find that they match very well to the factory gauges.

Where's the best place to tap into for boost and pyro. What type of readings should I expect? Thanks.

pyro you drill and tap the manifold, and for boost you tap into a vaccum line
