I purchased 3 gauges from glowshift for my 96 Powerstroke, EGT, Boost, and Transmission Temp. They seem to be good gauges. I have had zero problems with them.
Post up if you purchase them and you have problems.

Yes you have to have a return line, it needs to go to the bottom of the tank to prevent foam build up on a partial tank of fuel.
