SRT 10 and aftermarket gauges

[Sleeper]

I would like to add a single (standard size,52mm) gauge to monitor boost and EGT, but there is not much real estate for this. My desire is to maintain a stock appearance to the dash/cockpit, so my first thought is to replace the voltage meter on the lowest position of the 4 vertically stacked gauges in my SRT 10. My questions are:

1) Are the 4 vertical gauges connected (like a dash pod), or can I remove the volt meter?

2) Agree or Disagree: The volt meter is crucial to your daily driving (opinions welcome) ?

3) If limited to a single pyrometer probe, where would you tap for EGT measurement (is either bank known to run hotter?) ?

Thanks in advance!

they are all connected to one houshinh
ampmeter is better than voltmeter and both is best
measure temp along header at collecter with infredred thermoter and find the hotest spot

Thanks for the info. Not suprised they are a single unit design, so I'll need to mount them somewhere.

I am not currently in posession of an infrared thermometer, but your suggestion seems reasonable.
