We got gauges.......well almost... help!

[BFC]

Got a late start today but almost done. transmission temp and boost working fine, got lights to all three, hooked up to the dimmer.



No EGT power though, must have tap the wrong wire, can I just hook it up to the same wire that I took for my transmission temp gauge?



Thanks,



BFC



seeing 18/19 lbs of boost a WOT and transmission temp 180/190 on a 15 min empty run to see if everything worked. (OK I was watching the boost needle!). Sounds good to me, is it?

EGT doesnt take a 12 volt power hook up unless its a digital gauge, only for lighting.

Problem solved!

BFC,



Your boost readings are exactly what I am seeing WOT on an empty stock '99 truck. I just installed Genos combo gauge. Gotta watch the damn road instead of those gauges!!! Did you go pre or post turbo and what are you seeing for temps?

 

[BFC]

700/800 going down the highway at 70. I could briefly get it up to 1100 at WOT going up hill.

WOW!!!!



1100 degrees? Is that post turbo??

 

[BFC]

Nope, pre turbo I drilled and tapped the manifold.
