2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Gauge Dilema

[EBottema]

Hey guys-



Okay... Decided on Dipicols for my gauges in my 12v. I am putting a EGT and boost forsure. However, Dipricol doesnt sell any fuel gauge over 30 and really in a sense it is a waste on a 12v engine... Ill just put a liquid filled one under the hood later down the road. Planing on running 370s, exhaust, possible bigger turbo later, and fueling plates... Running about 400hp when im done.



What should my 3rd gauge be? Or should i just stick with two?

vote in my poll, any comments would be appriciated!

I wouldn't write off a fuel gauge just yet, but I am probably gunshy since I just got bit with a LP failure.

Its for a 12v so us mechanical people dont need to worry about that old vp44...

I have a 12v but still plan on adding a mechanical FP guage. Will probalby go with Autometer 100psi unit.

I've heard of some that are using a 50# boost gauge for the fuel PSI.

With all of those fueling enhancements, maybe an engine oil temp gauge would be a good idea.

I use a 30 PSI boost gauge. No isolator... diesel won't hurt anything if it were to leak. It has been in the truck for 3 1/2 years and 62,000 miles without a problem.

So am assuming that the votes for "other" gauge is either going with a fuel pressure one or a oil temp??

Anyone run 2 white dipricols and one black one in the same pod? does it look funny? Since they sell a black 100psi fuel
