What gauges to add to a diesel ?

I run boost, EGT and trans temp on an over head pod. I also have an Edge CTS that has a fuel pressure input along with all the other reading through the OBD2 port. The must must must is EGT. You can easily cook a turbo with a tune under load.

The CTS is a good option as it monitors so many things in one unit. You can add pressure or temp sensors to it as well for custom reading.

Ford 6.0 injectors are super picky on fuel pressure and unlike yours, are fed low pressure (65#), that’s why I monitor that. If you are adding a low pressure lift pump, you obviously are trying to help out the injection pump. It would be a good idea to monitor your low pressure to verify the lift pump is working as intended.
