I had a good experience buying my gauge pod through Glowshift. I can't actually say for the gauges, since I got mine used, But they had a good price on the pillar gauge pod and even called later to check on the quality and fitment of their product.

Here are some pics that might help you with the install:

This is where you want to tap into the manifold for your egt probe.

This is the port on the intake plenum where you take your boost readings from.

I had to drill the hole in the throttle assembly to get to mine. I don't know if the intercooled version is that way or not. You can do some searching on here and on Cummins forum for more info. Hopefully this helps. Good luck!

Do you have to thread the hole in the manifold?

Yes, you do have to drill and tap the one in the exhaust manifold for the egt probe. They are usually a 1/8" npt. but you can check when you get the probe to see what size the fitting is that comes with it. Use some grease when you drill and tap, so that the shavings don't fall into the manifold.

The port for the boost hose has an allen head plug in it that you just remove and replace with your fitting.

Hopefully someone else will chime in on this. My install was on my suburban, so it's going to be different for you.
