ok picked up the egt gauge. trying to figure out where to mount it. would on the trap ox pipe be ok? like right before it turns down to the turbo? would make my life very easy lol

I am hoping I did not fry my sensor. When I did the clutch last time I forgot the ground strap. The electrical gods were more than happy to use the metal sheath on the sensor.... There was smoke, I have been afraid to test it....


RE: Getting an EGT today :D - iheartboost - 08-20-2011

im confused? how did you blow it up by not grounding? mines just two cables positive and negative to the probe


RE: Getting an EGT today :D - winmutt - 08-21-2011

The engine ground to the frame through the metal sheeth on the egt probe when I tried to start it Sad
