You can get a gauge pod that replaces your a pillar. Holds One or two gauges. Gets rid of your oh shi*t handle.

As for the turbo...sounds like hard work, and worth it. A turbo hemi would be sweet.

I'm partial to my oh sh*t handle. You can keep it if you only get a single gauge. As for the turbo. it'll be an expensive b*tch of a job, but it'll be a blast to drive. Make sure you go one-step-colder plugs.

My bottom gauge is a pyrometer. It shows the exhaust temps. You really should have it on a turbo in a heavy truck.

The STS turbo kit is kinda bolt on. The tuning is something you have to leave to the pros.
