Ok I just ordered the two hole pillar I wish it was three. Defiantly doing a boost gauge and one other. Not sure yet either an oil pressure or egt or ? What would the best range for the boost be. I'm thinking no less than 35. I don't want it max out all the time. Also what are some of you getting on yours does 30 ever happen. Thanks

With a GDE ECO Tune, I have not seen anything over 22 psi. I remember reading on here the usually the max is around 26? I know my winter slush mats do limit my pedal travel a bit, how ever my EGT at the time was 1100 F.
Having boost, oil pressure, and EGT all in one gauge is nice. If I only had two, i would choose oil pressure and EGT. EGT and boost seem to go and in hand (more boost, more EGT) but it is nice to see when my turbo is cool enough to shut the engine off.

Great point. I did see glow shift offers a three in one with boost,egt,and oil pressure. Listed at $175]. I did speak with a fellow from lo-tec ( the pillar people ) he had on idea about a three hole pillar. I thought we had a start on that. My rig seems to over boost a lot even popping the hose off once. Can't wait to spy on that.

Here is my writeup about gauge installs. 30 psi is fine as mine never gets above 23.

I would go with EGT and one other. I use the pyro daily for fuel economy and knowing when to shut down after idle.
