Ok since ive been neglecting the poor truck for this long i decided to go ahead with some gauges. My buddy owes me some money so for a trade off i decided this would be a Win Win for both of us..
Here are my Plans:
I like the look of this gauge and its a nice deal.
And i can use the spare LC1 for tuning some of my buddys trucks instead of always takin mine out and puttin it back in.

And while im at it i need a Fuel Pressure Gauge.
Most of the ones i found were $200ish.. Then i found this one.. Its only $92 and it keeps the blue theme goin..

Both of these Gauges will be goin in this Pod.

I dont like the looks of the A pillar Pods cause they draw too much attn and they look a lil ricer to me. I like my Gauges and stuff out of the way.
here is what i currently have..
Except i have my Boost gauge where the "Oil Temp" is
And ill be movin my Nitrous switches and LEDs to this section.

Also Ill be getting some 65# injectors so the boost can be raised just a lil
i also am working on a 2 Stage Electric boost controller.
5PSI spring in the waste gate and im thinking 8 maybe 9psi for the flip of the switch..

We are working in Colorado Springs, CO right now and the hotel is by a Home Depot...

When he is done with Home Depot he will have either made a boost controler or a potato gun....either way it will be fun!

I have an LC-1, and purchased the gauge (in your first image) months later. I should've bought the package the first time, but I tried to wire it up to log in HPT via the EGR wiring. Got frustrated with it not working the right way, and bought the gauge.
It's a sweet setup in a pod (custom or aftermarket). Swings just a lil bit, but WOT is steady as a rock (which is MY main concern). Thought about digital, but went with analog instead (I like to see my swinging rod/needle). All WBs are as good as the calibration procedure.
I know Derek @ EDO (PT sponsor) sells PLX stuff. May wanna give a shout and/or ask around for performance comparisons.

I'm sure it will turn out nice!! I just picked up some 1/8 sheet aluminum from out here at work that's gonna look nice polished a bit and made into gague mounts.... Probably do the overhead mount like you have it there.

. J/K, looks good. I'm interested to see how you like those injectors.
