As above really, eBay sell £30-40 specials which I'm staying away from, companies like Greddy sell them for c£200.

Does anybody have a source of cheaper reliable ones? I intend to use an industrial pressure gauge for EGP.

Thanks,
H.

I have a glowshift 3in1 gauge for my car for the past 3 years, it has worked fine and been reliable, but I don't know how much I'd recommend one just because they are made kind of cheap like.

Isspro and autometer (not the cheapest series though), I've have always been a fan of Stewart Warner gauges also.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

Mine is made by Sunpro, I believe it was around $100 or so, seems to work pretty well

-1982 300D Turbo, 280k miles, ALDA apparently maxxed, fram 8038, 12 lbs boost, non-egr manifolds, W/M injection, 4 brake light mod, Gen II w126 front rotors/calipers, 4-speed swap
In the works: A/W IC, adjust pump, turbo rebuild (w/60 trim comp wheel)
-1980 300SD, 110k, project car. Goal is to get it lookin' like it did on the showroom floor (body and interior wise, not necessarily under the hood )
-1974 240D, FRESH PAINT!!!!!!

For the european fellows maybe the STRI X-line gauges are a good option (probably available in America too). I bought one for 121 euro's. Comes with probe and electrical wiring. It looks decent and works fine.

Am googling arduino installation now.

I'd prefer a gauge style type but how has anyone checked accuracy?

I have an ir temperature gun but I can't exactly probe my actual exhaust gas, not can I do it whilst driving for that matter!

I'm sure eBay gauges can't be that inaccurate?! I think in trying to convince myself here..

Name-brand gauges will give name brand results, lab quality thermocouples + aurduino or 12v temperature controller work wel too.

I wouldn't go with a noname chinese unit though.

Im going to buy a k-type thermocouple and work out the best manifold install and go from there, if I work out the range I can put together a simple digital reader bits from RS components..

Nice to see another British 210 owner! Are you going STD or at least big-TD?
