which gauges to install?

[JHenry]

I have an '06 Dodge 2500 as described below. I want to install 3 gauges on the pillar. I believe I should install EGT and Fuel pressure, but not sure about the 3rd. Boost? I would appreciate any input from other owners.

Thanks. JH

Yes, most people with a manual trans have a boost gauge as their 3rd gauge.

I've got boost, egt, and oil pressure on my pillar. Boost should be there, i'm not sure you need fuel pressure on the trucks with the in tank pump unless its no longer stock.

Boost, EGT, and fuel pressure at the CP-3 inlet are mandatory to track perofrmance and resolve issues.



Additional gauges(s) that are nice to have: rail pressure, drive pressure, engine oil temp, and trans temp for the autos.

I have the BD x-monitor on the A pillar which has egt, boost, and trans temp. I then installed water and oil temperature gauges in the dash pod. If it's an auto you need a trans temp gauge.
