Gauge Questions

I think this may be my first post. I have been reading this site for a couple of years now. Anyways, before you guys yell at me for not searching, please let me tell you my situation. I'm currently on a Aircraft Carrier cover operations in Iraq. It took me 45 minutes to get the new tread page to load so searching and reading each post is going to be nearly impossible. At least for the next 4-5 months.

Ok, so I have some basic questions about gauges. I'm thinking of using the Pricol gauge that are in my Geno's magazine that I brought out with me.

1. Boost gauge- If I use the RLT Boost adapter, which gauge do I need- 0-35,60 or 100? Mounting seems straight forward

2. Fuel Pressure- for an 08, 6.7, manual tranny, which is better mechincal or electical? Which one 0-30,60 or 0-100? Where do you mount the mechnical gauge? do I use that fuel filter cap with pressure port? where does that thing go?

3. EGT gauge- seems straight forward and I saw pictures of the place to mount it the other day.

Thanks guys for the information and not yelling at me to loadly.. I'm a newbie so I have to expect it anyways, right.. LOL..
