I have glowshift gauges in my truck that arent hooked up currently because everything is ran to my edge. But I'm getting rid of my edge what do i do to hook the gauges back up. Just the boost and tranny temp

So you have mechanical gauges for both boost and trans temp? Trans temp can be achieved by spinning your probe into the port on the side of the trans that points towards the front passenger side I believe, and I have no idea how an Edge could know trans temp otherwise. (Edge trans buster) Remember that phrase? I do...

For boost you just need a pressure line that reads backpressure at the intake manifold. That is all that boost is, a measure of restriction. More boost = bad, not good. Read a basic forced inductions book sometime. High boost is bad, not good, like adding a few more mufflers and cats to your exhaust...just plain stupid. Well at least if you have some basic grasp of how internal combustion/diesel/or most liquid fuel provided engine is operated, you would know this. If you have more questions feel free to ask and I will answer to the best of my ability. I am not trying to be a smartass, just to explain as simply as possible as I do not know your history.

Interesting, so high boost is bad. Even if your running twins? Im seeing about 80lb out of my compound set up. Getting my 12v head worked over know and im assuming ill lose anywhere from 10-20lb of boost . Ill lose boost but get more air flow correct?

The goal is airflow, the more boost means more pressure is built up. The real big engines run in excess of 100psi.

Yes. I can't tell you how many times I've heard it. "I did a valve job and lost boost! It makes no sense! But I gained power though!"
