Gauge & chip advice needed
Gauge & chip advice needed
Looking to add a fuel pressure gauge and am looking for input on which one to go with. Also thinking about a power boost and looking at a chip, any advice here?
I wish I was as fine, as those who work the pipeline!

I went with Autometer. You can get them in the DTR store. PM Lary Elis (Top). Lots of Banks, Smarty, and BD. It kinda depends on what you want to do though.
I use a mechanical Di Pricol gauge and edge comp, the gauge matches the dash gauges pretty good and the comp is a good box. Instead of a pressure isolator I used a needle valve from napa and ran fuel into the cab. If it ever springs a leak I can just close the valve and replace the tubing.
do the math first, usually 3 gauges and pod plus a chip will cost as much as an edge juice/attitude or ADR, I did it the hard way, edge EZ plus gauges, (800$) then later on I switched to the EDgeJ/A (740$) all prices Canadian.
I pretty much gave away my old set up as I got nothing for it, now if you can score a used chip/gauges for cheap you would be ahead of the game
while some perfer mech gauges, I like the ability to set warnings/limits on my monitor, this means I dont have to watch my gauges all the time as an audiable alert will pull my eyes off the road to have a peek at the gauges
Oh, and some like to claim that mech gauges are more accurate, I ran both at the same time and did not see that result
my two cents
