So recently I've had my pickup broke into and they stole my pillar gauges. So I'm thinking about running a different configuration and curious to hear if anyone is running 2 pyro's and how they feel about it. I'm also thinking about using the overhead console pod mount. Any suggestions?
Gauges?

I've run dual pyro's for years...
Is it necessary, no. But its handy for trouble shooting and such.
Overhead pod is a nice choice, works good but its not really in your line of site.
I recommend Isspro gauges myself, EV-2 or Performax.

Overhead gauge pods are a pain to put in because most of the time the rear view mirror is too high and has to be moved.
Also with an overhead pod I have heard of some sending units not having long enough wires to reach up there. I had autometers in an overhead pod and I had to get longer boost tubing.

In the manifold... Drill and tap.
IMHO Isspro gauges are better then anything else on the market, but I am bias so...
Moving the mirror if needed is a 10 minute deal, not something to fret about.
Isspro use all electric sensors, so the wires are typically more then long enough. No boost tubing to run, pinch or kink.
No copper tubing here, just a nice simple set of wires to run.

I have two ISSPRO EV2's that I'm about to list up for sale. They are about 6 months old.
Exhaust BackPressure 0-60 PSI White Face (Like the ones CSIPSD has)
&
Boost Pressure 0-60 PSI White Face
PM me if interested!

I agree and I am not bias at all as I did a bunch of trying and buying and arrived at Performax unit and gauges. OF course I did so much trying that I have had to go slow with buying the pefromax's as I set my budget for each month and plan to stick to it. But so far I have been beyond satisfied with both the performance of the gauges and the company's CS. I pickup up a used main unit and when I checked with them they said if I had any issue with it they could cover it replace it whatever was needed. I had zero paper work but they may have known the guy I purchased from. Still I find that when a company stands behind their products like that it usually bodes well for the experience you are going to have.
Does everyone need this higher end version? No but I can tell you if you plan to run more than the striaght standard triple set (boost, EGT, Trans Temp) then having to only have one set of wires go thru the firewall into the cab and that same three run to all gauges with everything else on short runs in the engine bay its so so worth it. Forget about the data logging which just adds that much more to the package.
No actually I do not. That would be awesome as that is something I wanted to setup. I still need to get a few more gauges. Once I get the new PCM which I just got and the chip as I think its fried as well that will be the next thing to do.
I will PM you as I have some other questions as well.

So when you drill and tap what about metal shavings? Small magnet? start it and let it idle?

No grease on anything. No magnet. No vacuum. Just drill and tap. CSIPSD goes by this way and I went by this way on his recommendation after worrying about it for about a week. No issues on my end and never any on his end. I believe he said he's done about 15 or so iirc this way and no issues.

Just give it hell.
No pilot drill, so grease, not magnet, no problem.
The shavings are small enough they pose no danger to a cast turbine wheel. Especially at idle.

Just don't have your face close the exhaust when you start it. Hot drill shavings exiting at high speed probably sting a little bit.
Just a WAG.

Lol thanks fellers I'm not that dumb I'm going to school for diesel mechanics I was just curious, right when it fires they are all probably blown out the exhaust right?

Exactly. Through the uppies, through the hot side of the turbo, and out the tailpipe.
