well , i finally installed all my gauges today .. went very smooth and I'll post my pics shortly .
the question i have is : with no mods (completely stock) :i went out and tested my truck after i got all the gauges installed (pyro , boost, Trans temp ) i was at the bottom of a long hill at a stand still , i started up the hill slowly and then hit it !! WOT the pryo hit 1200 f !! is that right ??? it settled down fast but, wow.. i never new it would hit that hot stock ???and about 28 psi on the boost !! i have my thermocouple installed pre turbo FYI !! thanks for any help!!!

I did the same thing you did, with mods, and the max egts I could get was 950-975. I think the reason for the low #'s was the BHAF and 4'in exhaust????
