Hi Peter,

I got my gauges from egauges.com, they have VDO, which I chose for oil
pressure and coolant temp, but for the pyrometer (EGT) and boost (Manifold
Pressure), I chose Isspro for a couple of reasons - - Isspro has been in
the business a long time, and the gauges are correctly labeled "Pyrometer"
and "Manifold Pressure" instead of the mundane "EGT" and "Boost", which is
a selling point for me. Also, the Isspro gauges have convex glass fronts,
so that they look nicer, and don't throw annoying reflections.YMMV,

Gary
