Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Finally got around to getting gauges - installed the boost and pyro this weekend.
I have a fuel pressure gauge that I'll be installing in a separate bullet gauge holder down neer the shifter - didn't like the 3 gauge pillar mount so I went w/ a 2 gauge 'A' pillar and Hewitt Industries gauges, they match the factory gauges perfectly.

I'm already second guessing my choice of the 50lb boost as opposed to the 30lb'r - I won't be doing much 'bombing' and wonder if I'll be happier w/ a 30lb gauge for the more pronounced needle movement - I'm seeing 22-24lb's of boost at 'full boogie'.
At most, I might jack arojnd w/ 3k springs and maybe a #10 plate - thoughts?
I'm still waiting for sunset to view the lighting, but I can already tell the gauge lights are going to be yellow/white as opposed to the green of the dash.
Where or how best to get the light 'condoms' to get the green color?
BTW: the lights are plumbed into the dimmer via the #5 fuse and a 'add-a-circuit'.

Will never forget the first trial run with the gauges... took the wife so she could experience the sensation :-laf , but all I got was :-{} aka "watch the road, not those **** gauges 
The autometers I put in the 2500 came with the "condoms", went with Isspros in the 3500 which didn't. I would think finding those wouldn't be too hard
