Isspro pyro has worked very well. And at night it almost matches the dash lights.♣♣

The Di Pricol Optix gauges are the closest thing to a perfect match that you will find.

If you want to give it a shot at installing them yourself, We can walk you through it. The hardest part is tapping the exhaust manifold. Everything else is a breeze...

Im in the same boat not knowing which I want to go with its nice with like the quadzilla cause you can have 4 plus gauges in one spot where with analog you would have to put them in multiple location BUT individual gauges do look sweet. Its tough cause with quadzilla going to be adding a turbo timer and such there is more options on what you can do with it then just analog gauges. It would be nice to have a nice A-pillar matched color gauge holder with 3 dash matching gauges in it...

The quad is cool but I prefer the looks of analogs. Nothing like the 3 on the A-pillar...

Heck, just get both.

Personally, I went with the Issopro mounted on the A pillar and like them.
When I add either the tranny temp or fuel pressure, Im going to change to either a three on the pillar or mount the two new gauges on a column mount.

See thats my only issue is that I want all my gauges in one spot. I do like the looks of the pricol analogs though.

hey thanks for the info i think i am going to go with the DiPricol Optix Gauges they are a little bit more expensive but i trust your opinions due to having autometer before and i know they are not the best, does anyone know where i can find these three for a good price? pyro, tran temp, boost, i would need the kit for installing each of them, ohh and the best prices for a pillar? thanks
