Can the boost and/or trans temp gauge connectors off dash be put on aftermarket gauges on pillar?

You will be better off with a mechanical boost gauge and an add on trans temp gauge. The stock map sensor only reads to about 30psi gauge, and the trans temp gauge is a stepper motor basically idiot light. My factory gauge will be reading in the middle most mornings, and my autometer gauge hasnt come off 100deg yet.

The best choice is a scan tool that reads engine PIDs (the actual temp/pressure/etc values). i-phone and android software is cheap and the only other cost is a bluetooth adapter ($30)

Autometer or ISSPro are the only gauges I'd use aside from a CTS. I personally prefer a combo of the types of gauge.

Can I run one resistor for all guages to the dimmer, or do I have to have a resistor for each guage?

You can put all the gauges on the same dimmer.

I second the mechanical boost gauge, stock turbo or aftermarket - your tuner is manipulating the factory gauge value.

Most of these can be run more effectively off a unit like the Edge Insight. Transmission comes to mind, and it will allow you to effectively monitor things that gauges can't (i.e. FICM voltage). Leaving that option open, as I run a combination of Insight and Autometer gauges myself.

The one you probably aren't thinking about is the Fuel Pressure.

I usually keep the tuner in the higher tow, which is 80 hp, correct me if I'm wrong. Never ran it in 120

I use a mechanical gauge for trans temp and boost. The rest of my gauges, including pyro I use my CTS 2 for.

What's the best pods to retain the grab handle?

Autometer has a single pod for under the grab handle that I use, however I modify that one with a second generic build single pod - to create the two gauge unit under my grab handle. Then I have a quad pod over the rear view mirror. (And still use an Edge Insight periodically.)
