Default C6 Pillar Fuel/Boost Guage Pod Options

I'm sure this topic has been beaten to hell, but I can't seem to even find any pillar guages setup anywhere. I'm looking to spend less than $500, the only one I saw was the West Coast Customs pillar guage setup. What do you guys suggest I go with and where can I buy it?

Thanks

Most electric guages for fuel pressure are like $200+, these are really cheap, are they any good?

What I am curious about is how do you get the wires from the pillar pod down though the dash? I pulled my pillar cover off and did not see how I could fish the gauge wires down. I would appreciate anybody explaining how that is done.

Ok, I have the Autometer A pillar dual gauge pod with boost and fuel pressure gauges. DSVettes leather wrapped the A pillar gauge pods. The boost gauge is hooked up and functional. The fuel pressure gauge is wired to light up.

Question: I've looked at your gauge instructions, but still am not sure how I hook up the fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail? I have a "Maggie" M112 supercharger. Will your fuel rail fitting (-4 Female to 1/8” NPT Female Swivel Fitting) work? or do I still need some other type of adaptor?

Here's how my A pillar dual gauge pod looks.

Thanks for any info you can share.

2Vettes, how did you get the wires from the gauges fished under the dash? I can't see where there is room to do so. Thanks!

Right now they are coiled up in the side of the footwell by the hood release; nothing says you have to run the wires all the way to the base of the A pillar.

Still have to run them through to the engine bay.

I guess I should have posed my question directly to Josh.

Here's one I did in a 2002 Silverado with a 408 and a F1. There happened to be a perfect spot.

I think this is the adapter that you need on the Maggie rail. You can thread the pressure sender into the 1/8 mpt port on the side.

The Lingenfelter fuel rail cover is a pain to remove.

Here's it's pulled back a little; does this show enough? if not, I'll have to try a little harder.

The adapter I showed you the link for will work, but in the second pic I see a little fuel port similar to the factory rail test port...but there wouldn't be enough room for our usual fitting and the sender right there.
