    A "C" turbo will be lucky to hit 8 PSI max boost. A "D" turbo might hit 10 PSI. Don't waste your money on a Deuce turbo gauge reading over 15 PSI unless you have a LDS turbo, even then I doubt they will get to or above 15 PSI. These turbos were designed to meet EPA exhaust smoke regulations, NOT...

    If you are reading 900F post turbo, I would not mess with the fuel setting. Depending on who you believe, the difference between pre and post turbo temps can be 150F-300F or more. If you are already at 900F post turbo, you are already close to 1100F-1200F pre turbo. That is about as hot as you...

    TXSG 19 - one full turn is a LOT more fuel. Better install a pre turbo pyrometer before you do much hard driving. Mine WAS a hard starter, I've gone up 1/2 turn, starts real sweet now, but even empty on a long steep hill I'm pushing 1150-1200F EGT. I'll probably back off 1/6th turn (one flat) to...

    I'd be pretty nervous about running at 1000F with a post turbo pyro. Everything I've read says the MINIMUM difference between pre and post turbo pyros is 100F, most seem to think 200F-300F is more typical. So at 1000F post turbo, depending on how close you are to the turbo outlet and whether...

    If you can only afford one gauge, make it a pyrometer (aka EGT gauge). This is the only add-on gauge that will tell you when you are getting into the range of doing damage to your engine. Expect to spend $125 to $175 for the pyrometer, high temp Inconel thermocouple, and lead wires. The ISSPRO...

    Jeff - Glad to see you reposted you pics, your original posting must have gotton lost last Saturday in the server crash. What box did you use for the gauges and where did you get it from? I'd like to make a similar setup. I have the low air pressure warning light kit from Saturn Surplus, I was...
