Ordering gauges today, ISSPRO or AUTOMETER PHANTOM?

Im ordering the dash 3 gauge cluster in black and I think im going with the 1600F pyro, 0-60 boost gauge, tranny temp. Now whats better quality or better appearance to match our stock white background gauges? autometer phantom or isspro? What place sells this cluster in a set?

Dipricol is the best IMO. ISSPRO is a very close second. I bought mine from Diesel Manor just because they specialize in gauge kits.

the weird thing is the gauge kits are only diprocol and isspro. diprocol is $375 and the ISSPRO is $310 roughly. Autometer has no gauge kits but there gauges are the same price as diprocol individually. The diprocol and isspro do match our gauges more accurately though.Are the pyros the same as the edge juice ones? because i have 2 spare edge juice pyros at home. if i can use 1 i wouldnt bother ordering a new 1.

I have the same setup you're wanting with the 3 dash setup I have the phantom 2 and I think Isspro has better quality.My pyro as soon as I put it in it didn't work so I had to send it in,now my tranny temp seal on the gauge is bad and it fogs upwhen it starts to heat up .Maybe a bad batch but my Isspro I had on a previous truck 5 years and no problems.

I have had the terminal type probe for over 2yrs with no problems. I also have Isspros and love em! Not only do their gauges look similar, the backlit colors do too!

I have the Isspro guages also, I got them from Diesel Manor. My only complaint is my boost gauge has always made noise and as of recent I found out that it is also inaccurate. I went for a ride with the Dodge tech while he was monitoring the boost through the star scanner, his scanner was reading a 30-32 psi constant at wot while my boost gauge was only reading 20-22 psi, that would expain why the truck still ran just as good as before noticing the boost issue. other than that I like the back light and gauge color, they match the dash.

autometer- had problems with them fogging up in the cold-had to have them replaced and treated with anti- fog stuff at autometer. then i had to have another gauge replaced six months later. after that, i had to have a sender replaced. i then went with isspro. i have had two gauges replaced by them and at least three amp boxes in two years!!!

I have autometer Phantoms in the Dodge and ISSPROs in my Ford. Overall, I really like the Autometers, but have heard some issues with the Electric fuel pressure gauge requiring a "Snubber". All three of the backlights match up well. My ISSPROs backlight varies more from gauge to gauge, but I have never had a problem with them.

i have isspro. i love them for matching the factory gauges and the backlight being the same. i sent isspro an email a few weeks ago asking if they were going to produce a rail pressure gauge. they emailed me back and said not in the EV gauges, but there is a new performax set up coming out this summer that will have it. the performax is supposed to be one box under the dash that everything ties into and then you just plug your gauges into the box. supposed to be 17 different gauges available with the setup depending on what you want. its not due out though till this summer so i've been told. they are more expensive but they are supposed to be very accurate. if i wee buying new gauges i would check into them. not sure if there is any info out on them yet though.
