Going to be adding EGT and Boost Pressure gauges, I think a 3 gauge pod might be available for me, if there is what would I fill the last hole with.....ideas? I trust my other gauges and I never really felt the need for an engine oil temp gauge......

Rail Pressure - Pricol guages are compact, tho more expensive than Isspro, but the required electronics is integral to the guage, where Isspro has a large external module for each guage, with all that 5-wire-per-guage inter-wiring - Rail Pressure is a sure-fire indication of fueling problems - also can indicate intermittent power problems by turning off\on - also very good indication of instantaneous fuel economy

I don't really feel the need for a tranny temp gauge on a manual. On an auto though that could be a good one for towing.

Hmmmmmm. That's a good one to consider then.

Fuel pressure guage,lets you know when you filter is junk,and it will protect those injectors from starvation.........and takes the guess work out of fuel system trouble shooting,not that the stock fuel system had or has any issues :shock:

He is doing an engine swap into a MJ, so he does not have to worry about gauge pods for t he KJ. The two gauge pillar pods are available and the company said it was making a three gauge pod. Don't know what happened to it, but I suspect lack of demand. You could email them and ask? Several have made a custom pod. I have one made by JHCRASH back in the day on top of my dash (I don't like the pillar pods, I like my handle where it is). Others have made custom 3-pods that sit over the center ac vents.

Is there any kind of traditional 2 1/16" gage that displays multiple variables? I'm thinking of something with an LED display where you can toggle between different sensors. Not one of those panel style ones that read off the OBD port (we all know the problems with our OBD port), but a round one to plug into a pod and hook multiple sensors to.
