Pillar gauges FTW!!

I love pillar gauges too, I currently have a quad pod with egt, water temp, oil temp, and fuel psi. But I could never get the water and oil temp gauges to read correctly. I have tried several different locations but just cant get it right. I was really want to check the deltas between water and oil temp to see if my oil cooler was ok or not so I finaly splurged for the insight cts.

The glowshift gauge will be good for ya, if it starts reading funky just give em a call. They have great customer service. And even if you need a new sending unit its only like $15.

I love the look of their gauges, just wish the sensors were better quality....but great customer service helps!

dont get me wrong i love my insight cts but i need a more visible boost gauge and one thats not being fooled by the computer/tune.

wanted at least fuel press and boost so i said ill get a triple at least and add HPOP

snapped a pic of the gauge mocked up in the pod. the dash holds the pod on there pretty tight and had to make sure the gauge would clear the steering wheel.

lawl the steering wheel has been on its way out for a while now and i said F it. one of these days ill drop the money on replacing it but i tried a cover when i first got it and the generic ones at autozone etc were too small.

Installed the fuel pressure gauge Saturday morning and it was very simple actually. And thanks to ford for running wires through the firewall and leaving both ends free only have one wires passing through the firewall and easily disconnected on the other side.

Pressure never got. Below 60 psi. And I also loaded my geadhead srl+ tune that's got more boost than the srl I was running. Playing the game of how long till I can lift the heads hahaa

psi looks good. When I first put mine on last year it was 50 at idle and would drop below 40 at WOT!! So I did the blue spring upgrade and it has bee. Right at 72 at idle, and will drop to 55ish at wot running my looney tune. Seems to be a bit low still at WOT to me.

Yea this is with the blue spring installed. Haven't gone really WOT yet as its not exactly safe with this tune haha. Didn't want to lift the Rafa just yet haha. But tells me that the stock pump is good for now and I can hold off on the a1000

Always nice to be able to hold of a bit longer!
