I like the monitor type that way I can go back and recall max values. If your anything like most the people I know including myself, you never watch your guages while going down the track so I like to be able to recall my values and see how high things got.

I started with standalone gauges (EGT, boost, Tran Temp) before any other mods and added fuel and rail pressure along the way. Wanted a base line of stock readings before any other mods. I have had a couple of monitors with built in gauges along the way and the functionality for the most part is good, some with recall which is really the only real pro over my standalone gauges. I still like having my standalone gauges and would not get rid of them. If I want to change monitors or remove for any reason I still have my gauges. Currently have only the TST R49 remote with additional EGT and boost displays along with standalone gauges. Just my .02.

Wow..... which panel controls the Warp engines? What is the panel above the left corner of the radio?

Manual gauges are much easier to read. Just my .02

hey chrleb1. where did you get the panel that holds the 3 gauges in the cubby hole in the center of the dash? thanks

Exactly what I was wondering Eric you read my mind.

How do you watch the road.

I had gauges in my ford and monitor in my dodge. I think the gauges look er but the monitor looks more modern.

That is just a GPS, very good to make minor adjustments to the tire size to get actual OD read out and mileage. Found out that my BFG 285 listed at 32.7" are now really about 32" when on the ground.

The 3 gauge console pod is sold a number of places now, that one is from Autometer as is the 2 gauge steering pod.

Not seen is the CB and TC lock up switch and you have to look good to see the EZ toggle between the steering columne gauges.

ok, found one right here on DTR. thanks

I got one at my shop if you want one. They are nice and cheap. It doesn't go in the center. You have to do some minor work. The AC controls are a little bigger than the bottom space. You have to trim the bottom opening a little to put the AC controls there so that you can move the guages to the middle. I like it that way a lot more.

The other problem with the moniters.... none of them read to 75 lbs of boost.

chrleb1 is correct you have to be willing to hack on the center console to install in the center hole.

no step for a stepper. thanks. they do look much more functional in the center. i bought a single gauge pod 4 the column and i dont like how it just sits over the original, just for a fuel pressure gauge. so now i need to buy 2 more gauges. i also just purchased a II silver 62. will my attitude monitor read boost up to 46-48 or should one of the gauges i use to fill the holes be a boost gauge. if anyone wants a single pod for the column il make ya a heck of a deal. its brand new
