Does a 3 in 1 gauge exist?

Looking to do some custom work with my gauges. Currently have a single gauge for EGT and one for Boost (Westach). Looking to combine into a single gauge (no problem as i see that Westach and SPA (sp?) offer that). However, want to add a transmission temp gauge. I've scoured the web and located numerous hits for a gauge by Westach that has three analog readouts / dials, but they are all for EGT temps. Anyone know if a company that manufactures a 3 in 1 gauge for EGT, Boost, and a Temp readout?



The plan is to mount this inside the worthless cubby hole to the left of the A/C controls. Currently, they are mounted above the mirror. Had them in the pillar of my 01 and didn't really like that either. On top of the dash doesn't turn me on either. I like the cubby hole cause it would provide a 'clean' installation, and give it a somewhat 'stock' look.



Ideas?
 
I've looked at lots of gauge options but have never seen a 3 in 1 like you are looking for. Personally I think the numbers would be too small to read. Shadrach
 
The triple Westach EGT gauge i saw online was a little small, but looked readable. Normally, I don't really try to read the exact reading while driving anyway, but glance to see what 'area' the needle is pointing to. If it's not where i think it should be, then i kinda focus to get a more exact reading. On my old 01, that was usually the fuel pressure gauge. Had a gremlin in the ground i could never get right so it always read funny when it wasn't supposed it.

I've located a few aircraft gauges that might fit the bill. Looking at them now and will post a link or two for opinions if i find any worth a crap. Most have color displays so reading may not be a problem.
 
I bought the 3 gauge pod from Geno's and then bought the Westech dual gauge for EGT and Boost and put it in the middle and put the fuel pressure in the left hole and the trans temp in the right hole. The Westech guage is hard to read at night because it is not well back lit but you get use to it and I watch the movement of the needles more than the actual temp or pressure because you lean what to watch and know when you are in trouble or not.
 
Yea, that's pretty much how i used the Westach gauges in my 01 (watching the needle movement more than the actual value). Well, I found several 3 and quad aircraft gauges, but the outside diameters were in the 3" or greater range. They looked good, but wouldn't fit right in those two little cubby holes. I think I'm gonna go the SPA gauge route and place a dual digital gauge in each cubby hole.
