Gauges first. Fuel Pressure, Boost, Exhast Gas Temperature, and Transmission temp if you have an automatic. Then get an Edge Comp and leave the wire untapped until you upgrade the transmission. Once that's done, tap the wire. Then go and get a set of Don M's Mach 6 injectors and a set of twin turbos. That should give you a nice, reliable 550 horses. Oh yeah, all of that is after you upgrade the fuel pump.

Big blue is on the money guages,exhaust,intake, computer module, and injector and turbo's. If your truck is a auto then before you add computer module at the least add torque convertor, vavle body and double deep sump pan. Bomb the truck in that order guages first good luck and welcome to the site there are many vendors who support this site like myself who can help you out

I don't know if you can get them off of ebay or not. Don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Fill in your signature so we know what kind of truck you have. 3 gauges and a pillar pod will set you back about $350.
