Gauging Up
With plans to upgrade this stock engine, I knew one of the first things I needed to do was get a couple of gauges installed. This would allow me to run the before performance numbers so when it came time to modify the engine I'd be able to see the difference these aftermarket parts make.
There are quite a few companies out there, but my top pick was Prosport Gauges for this project truck. With help from Pure Diesel Power, who I ordered the overhead two gauge console from, the two companies provided me with exactly what I was looking for.
I ordered a boost gauge as well as an EGT gauge from Prosport's Premium series and Powerlabs helped with the install.
"It was a little more difficult because it's all electric, but the install was easy and the instructions were simple to follow," says Powerlabs tech Jordan Johnson. "After seeing these gauges I'd like a set for my truck now."
When the guys in the shop who do installs all the time think the gauges are worthy of a closer inspection, you know you're dealing with something unique from Prosport. It's amazing how something as simple as gauges can get you excited for the performance build. Located just above the mirror, photos just don't do these gauges from Prosport justice.
