gauges? Looking for a LCD multi gauge for an older 2nd gen

Ive been looking around for some gauges lately. Ive got some westach's to cover all the important stats, but Im wondering if I can replace all of them with a single LCD gauge that will alert me when readings go above a pre-set value like 1350F EGT.
Ive looked at the quadzilla recon which looks great but only allows a single parameter to be displayed at a time. Also checked out the commander and the edge stuff but theyre all geared for a truck with more electronics than mine has.
Has anyone come across a gauge solution to monitor EGT, fuel pressure, trans temp and boost on a single gauge and do alerts?
Heck, I could probably make something to alert for exceeding pre-set values by comparing the voltage from those senders but Im lazy like that

kawi..
Here is a option for you,its a "Intellidash" made by Remark Industries.I have it set to be a digital tach(4 numbers),shift light(LED bar lights),EGT's(lower right corner,rear 3 cylinders,mechanical on pillar is in the front 3),boost(lower left) and the green light you see is the charging system monitor.It would also handle speedometer capabilities but I didn't buy the sensor for that.Its is NOT cheap but is an option and is sold by Corsa Systems,Scheids and most of the shop which work on the pulling rides.This is where I seen them and had to have one.........Andy

You could use a Quadzilla Commander for everything except for boost. You would be stuck with thier universal mount.

I'd go with the commander and if you want a boost gauge as well you could probably rig something up to work with the MAP sensor off of a 24v truck.

I've got a Commander in my 97.
I was going to retro-fit a 3rd gen boost pressure sensor as it will read higer #s then a ISB is I remember correctly. They are supposed to be coming out with a boost sender that will convert a mechanical signal to electronic but I haven't heard any talk of it for a while. I've been holding off for it but am getting tired of no boost numbers.

The all in one is the only way I will go but the market for something that isn't computer controlled is small. Limited options leaves one stuck...
I'll be calling for my 2nd replacement commander today and 1st replacement fuel pressure sender other then that I like the unit.

You need to buy an upgrade for the X-Monitor, I believe another $120, for it to monitor fuel pressure, on top of the cost of the X-Monitor in the first place.

The X-monitor is a very nice piece, though.
