    Okay, here is the question. I am looking at putting a three gage cluster into the A pillar on my 06 Dodge. What should the third gage be? I have a manual tranny. I know that I need the EGT, and a boost but what about the third one? Oil temp? Differential temp? What do ya'll think? I am looking at the Autometer Ultra-lite style as of now. I think that it will go best with my current display.

    Thanks in advance for your imput.

    On a 2nd gen you would definitely do fuel pressure. But for a 3rd gen there isn't a huge need for a fuel pressure gauge. You could just save some $ and do a 2-gauge setup...

    That is something that I had not thought of. Any more suggestions?

    I have my 4 gauges mounted on top of the dash with fuel pressure, Boost/EGT combo gauge, and transmission temp. I have been happy with the set up especilly after getting use to the combo gauge the Westech gauge is harder to read at night before I got use to it.
