Question Looking for Gauges

OK I'm looking for a gauge set for my truck. All the ones I find have a Trans temp gauge in them and I have the 6sp do I really need the Trans temp gauge ? I am looking at a 1600 pryo and a 45lb boost gauge maybe from Auto Meter. What other gauges would be helpful? I am planning to use a dash pod mount instead of a pillar mount.

I am also planning to install a Quadzilla Rail Pressure Gauge for my fuel system.

Would it be better to invest in the Edge Attitude with out the Edge Juice installed? The Edge Insight is only for the 2006 and up. Is it even possible to use the Edge Attitude like the Insight? Or will the mechanical gauges be the best bet?

Any and all ideas and comments are welcome.

Thanks.

I would go with a 1600*. You need to be shutting it down before you reach that temp anyway.

Another level of questions

I am looking around to buy my gauges and I am finding a Pre and Post turbo for the Pryo gauges. Which one should I be using?

Will using a Boost Gauge Fitting "Boost Bolt" give me the correct boost reading?

Thanks.
