I like the look of gauges better, it really just depends on your preference. Get egt, boost, fuel pressure and tranny for an auto.

It seems like its too late when the factory light comes on. Unless your pulling alot you can probably get away without a tranny temp gauge.

FWIW, these are the ones I put in my 05.
Still thinking about a rail pressure.

Welcome to the Forum!

I prefer the analog gauges for their looks and accuracy...
