FWIW, any K-type thermocouple will work with any gauge. If you don't have a bundle to spend on this, don't compromise on the probe and get the best quality probe obtainable (Hewitt is up there), so you don't have to worry about anything melting and ruining your turbo. The gauges can be found...

I have routinly seen 12 psi in the hills with my "D" turbo, usually associated with an EGT of 1,150°F or so and I ease off. Less for biodiesel/veggie...

Clean looking install, Patrick. Illuminating the dash gauges in the fashion described is a good idea. Fiddling with the location of the filament in the original fixtures is not working that well. I have a small flashlight handy for night time driving. :-)

For more info on the "flame detector", see: http://imageevent.com/cranetruck/flamedetector I have a light assy for the detector on the pod along with the pyro and boost gauges as can be seen in the image(s).

Mine is from Hoffman Engineering. Go and ogle it, zillions of choices. Hope your mother is well. Merry Christmas.

Mine is an industrial mechanical pressure gauge. El Cheapo here paid $10 for it... new. Does not have internal illumination, but heck, I sometimes need a flashlight to see some of the other gauges too. You'll be good Patrick. Some gauges ar not to be used for oil and since it is possible to get...

See what gauges will do to you. :-)

Otter, the difference between post and pre turbo is about 300°F (read that somewhere) and you need to ease off if your post turbo mounted probe hits 1000. My pre turbo pyro will easily hit 1,100-1,200°F on a climb in 5th gear... I find the boost gauge very useful as well, a very quick response...

When it comes to gauges, I like quality at low cost, a combination ebay can offer on a daily basis. However, my IH pyro gauge came from a truck salvage yard and cost me $20 (same gauge Kenny has, just about). The boost gauge was a new "industrial " air pressure gauge, which cost $9.99 from...

Ryan, are you referring to this? It's the intake manifold heater nozzle, the smaller fitting is the inlet and the larger is the return fuel line. If you haven't checked it, remove it and make sure it doesn't leak fuel into the intake manifold, mine did at one time. Nice installation, Jeff!
