Why an hpop?
How about boost egt and a scangauge?
I carry Autometer and Isspro

isspro has a lot of parts in my opinion and makes things more complicated that it has to be.
we carry both isspro and auto meter and autometer is a better seller, and to me is a better product.

my hpop gauge is worthless imo. If you want it ill sell it cheap I want to replace it with a scan gauge.

Scangauge will display hpo psi, and much more.

I would go fuel pressure before HPOP, unless you went with a aeroforce scan gauge to be able to monitor ICP and duty cycle togerther, and more.

Get a auroforce interceptor and you can add sensors for fuel psi.

ISSPRO is the best in my opinion..only gauges I've ever owned and there's a reason for that...

I have ISSPRO EV2 and think the install and parts are pretty straight forward and simple...

well if you have an auto i would do egt, boost, trans temp. if you have a hand shaker i would go with fuel pressure

Either one, Boost, EGT and a scangauge.

I have trans temp, boost, pyro, and scanguage in a quad pod. If i were to do it over again i'd ditch the trans temp gauge and go for either oil or fuel pressure gauge. My next gauge plans are an overhead pod with oil pressure, coolant temp, and fuel pressure. I'd then ditch the trans temp gauge and replace it with an EBP gauge.
I have Autometer Z-series and i like em. They work good, look good, and easy to read. Only complaint is the damn lighting. They light up fine and i can see em good, but they aren't a back-lit gauge. I absolutely hate how they look at night.

This is the setup I run. I was lucky enough to win the cts from the guys @ hostile diesel.

I prefer the cts as the information is up to the second. I might not even have a single analog gauge if I'd have gotten this first. You can buy a probe that reads egt. There's even a way to have a backup camera.
You'll notice I've got autometer gauges and I've owned three other sets previously for different vehicles. I wouldn't support that company again. They sent me defective gauges this time around and told me if I sent them in they'd look at them when they get a chance. But wouldn't give me an estimated turnaround time. They were ignorant, unprofessional, and sell an inferior product. I am aware that some people use them without issue as I have too. Quality and function are not where they should be at any price. I chose to stay with autometer out of loyalty and the fact their headquarters are 45min from my house. Bad criteria for buying something that will determine the life of your vehicle.
Go isspro or even banks(I know they aren't cool around here) and prosport makes nice gauges too. My firstsuggestion would be a insight style monitor or scangauge. Seriously.

Isspro egt, trans gauge for an auto, and an interceptor scangauge. The scangauge has provisions for two? analog addon gauges, for anything close to stock dd rig. On a single stock turbo, who cares about boost, you arent going to get high enough to hurt anything. Ebp is more important! If you get into a different injector, now you "need" a boost gauge! Otherwise, the first three should do what you want for basic checks. After that depends on where you're going.

Sorry, didn't realize the manual part.
Gauges can take up a lot of room in a manual unless you hang them on the side pillar, where everyone sees them, but the rarely lie! Scangauge is a pretty decent package, good price, an somewhat expandable. I like mine!

Actually made a post in there a long time ago.
Its not the brightness of the gauges, as i have LED's in mine right now and i can see em fine at night. Its just the style of lighting that looks horrible IMO. They are lit around the edge so it lights up the entire gauge face, so if you have colored lights everything becomes that color.
