What gauges to buy

300000 and counting · Jan 10, 2015

I'm looking to install gauges on my 6.4, I'm currently running oil temp, coolant temp, trans temp, and egt on my mini maxx. I would be fine with a 3 or 4 gauge pod I will be installing the mini maxx in one hole and an oil pressure in one of the holes so that leaves one or two spots open. My future plans are to install a 59/76 turbo set up and 60hp injectors, with all that being said what gauge (one) or gauges (two) would you guys recommend; I'm kind of leaning between a boost and back pressure gauge and a low fuel pressure light in the future what's you guys thoughts? I'm most likely going to buy isspro ev2 or some sort of autometers.

Does anybody have any opinion on this, would any of you recommend buying a trans temp gauge and using a different gauge on the mini maxx?

ISS Pros are supposed to be excellent gauges

Boost and ive seen some run air inlet or after inter cooler temp but the man thing is it is your truck gauge what you think and what you want

Boost and back pressure aren't a bad idea. Only thing about back pressure is you need to run a filter or soot will clog up the gauge. Soot clogs up the filter occasionally but they are easy to clean out. I'd run whatever you can't accurately monitor on the minimaxx, so basically anything that is constantly changing at a high rate. Rail pressure, boost, back pressure. Low pressure fuel pressure is also not monitored and is good to see.

What about an oil pressure gauge? I wish I could monitor it on my DD, and pretty much all other important PID's can be monitored through digital gauges if you went that route

What about a gauge to measure boost between the stages so you know how much each is making?

I'll be getting an edge cts. You can monitor everything you want I believe. Maybe up to 16? Someone able to confirm
On edit. You can add up to 16 sensors to monitor any temp or pressure you want.

I've really considered getting a CTS, but I don't know if I really want two screens there.

I know for a fact I'm putting an oil pressure gauge on that's what got me started looking into other gauges, it blows my mind that ford wouldn't put an oil pressure gauge on there trucks. Since I'm doing that I figured I have the real estate for a gauge or two but I'm still undecided on what to do.
