I am now sure it they are LED or not but the are alot brighter than my autometer. I highly recommend speedhut over autometer. Install harnesses are much better. Gauge responsiveness is alot better. The only negative is the numbers are smaller.


Yeah 9-10psi is totally different than my turbo at the same level. Perhaps my old combo was just crap, i dunno.


This is going on next. 3.2 pulley. I should see 11-12psi with it. I am gonna add more meth and more timing Then 3.0 pulley will be on order soon probably.

Crazy how little difference between the 2 but that little difference is worth 2psi.

Dammit, can you sneak out there when she's sleeping??

Also, I never realized how much you can customize the Speedhut gauges. I don't know if I should do the blue or the white glow...yours with the white looks awesome

Yeah those gauges are cool. Just be prepared it take a couple of weeks to ship. They build to order.

Btw they have a light just for the needle and a light just for the backlighting. The backlight is dim-able.

For those who are getting hard of seeing, you can customize the size of the font too IIRC.

If you call them, then can basically do anything you want with the gauges.

So i was ae to sneak out to the store to see what the 3.2 pulley would do. I will be damned if that wasnt the funnest time i have ever had in the truck. This **** just plants the tires and freaking goes! The turbo never ever hit this hard nor pulled this hard. The tires are starting to complain. They wimpered a few times. As long as it was a flat road they just freaking hooked. The truck was hitting 10-11 psi in first just freaking moving. I did kick it sideways once on a downshift into first ******* with a charger. That kinda got the heart pumping and puckered the botthole a little.

Anyways i am gonna stick with the 3.2 pulley for awhile until i get comfortable with the new TQ curve.

I wi get some videos soon. All of this was in 95-100* outside temps tooo. I can wait for winter.
