So I'm looking to add gauges to the truck but not sure which route to take. I'm not trying to spend a boat load of money but yet I don't want to buy something cheap and they be shit gauges. I found on eBay a package of glow shift gauges and the a pillar for $210... It has a boost gauge 0-60 a EGT gauge 0-1500 and a fuel pressure gauge... Is that good or no?

Exactly the same kit that I have... I'm pleased, the gauges work fine. Are they the 7 color or 11 color... only thing is you should try and use a dimmer if possible because they are super bright at night time, but if you use the color red it doesn't effect your night vision.

They are the 7 color with the smoked lenses.... I like them cause they change color plus a hell of a lot cheaper then autometer

Cool, I'm headed you way sometime in November to do some surf fishing... But yea you have to do a little wiring, and you have to drill and tap the hole for the egt gauge probe, and drill ad tap for the boost line fitting. The fuel pressure gauge you just hook into your airdog or anywhere really. But yea it does come with instructions. It took me a few hours, so you should be fine.

There is a reason most of us refer to glowshifts as glowshits... My opinion is either save up and spend the extra on a nice set of Autometers or ISSPros and be set for a long time! I have had 2 sets of glowshits as well as 1 of my good buddys and they wig out and are get what you pay for over time... Plus there kinda more geared to the ricer guy... It is whatever you want tho, just my 2cents!

Like TLyons90 Said Spend The Money And Get The AutoMeter :thumb:.. My Buddy Had GlowShift Fuel PSI , Boost , & EGT In His Dodge.... He Had Them Not Even 6 Months And The Fuel PSi Wouldnt Read Past 5 PSI .... So He Got A New Fuel PSI ... Then The EGT Gauge Started Jumping Around ... So He Got AutoMeter Cobalts Like I Have
