Currently have an edge insight cts2, with pyro, and 2x external boost gauges. I am considering swapping them out for analog gauges. truck has compounds so i want to have 2x boost gauges, plus egt, fuel rail pressure, and trans temp. I really like the look of the 4x gauge pod over the rearview mirror so im trying to find an analog gauge with 2 of these options in a single meter. preferably 2x boost needles in the same gauge. Or trans temp and fuel pressure together

That would be nice but I’ve never seen one other then on heavy duty air brake equipped trucks. They use a single gauge for primary air pressure and secondary air. Not sure how well it would function as a boost gauge though.

Isspro makes a couple dual needle gauges listed here, they might also have more options.

You can also look into firestone or riderite airbag gauges. They are dual needle. I have the following gauge in my last couple truck to monitor and adjust airbags.

Since you already have the edge, why not keep it to monitor rail pressure or EGT's and use the 4 gauge pod over the mirror for 2 seperate boost gauges? I prefer to choose gauges that when operating where they should the needle points straight up. That way with a quick glance I can tell if stuff is looking on vs something might be out of whack. Picking 2 seperate boost gauges allows you to pick sensor ranges that would put needle close to vertical on each gauge.

My last truck I had the 4 gauge pillar and edge cts2 and loved it.

Fuel rail pressure should stay on the CTS so you get accurate readings. Standalone Rail gauges are the cause of alot of frustraions. I would just do boost separately. In a 4 pod over the mirror I have 2x boost and Drive pressure and oil pressure.

My Isspro EV2 Rail Pressure gauge has been operating flawlessly for years.

Thats fine. Just saying if you ever experience weird readings don't expect it to be the truck. The piggyback connections are often the culprit.

Why not just get the expansion sensors to run everything into the cts2?
Then all your stuff to watch is in one location.
