Gauge install questions..

So I ordered the DiPricol triple gauge package from Diesel Distributors. Boost, Pyro, and trans temp. Great deal and free shipping! It came with the Glow Shift gauge pod. Funny thing is...after I ordered, A 5 speed swap came into the works and I won't be using the tranny temp gauge. So, I'm debating on either cutting the triple pillar down to a double or installing an oil pressure gauge. Oil pressure gauge has the match the Optix series and I don't think they have one. Anyways, What is the best way to install the pod and make it look nice? 2nd question...Where does the boost bolt go to tap boost pressure? Has anyone ever used 1/8th" copper tube to install it? I hate using the cheap nylon crap.

Well, a couple quick searches and they DO have an engine oil pressure gauge...0-100psi...They also have a Diff temp gauge..I think the diff temp would be cool in the pillar! What do ya'll think ?

I pulled a plug from the head and ran the boost off it. 2 years with no problems. Copper would work, just be a pain to run.

Here is the port http://www.tstproducts.com/pdffiles/instboo24.pdf

I thought fuel pressure wasn't such a big deal on 12valves?
