The boost gauge should have an airtight line run from the gauge to the intake, directly under the intake horn is a bolt that you remove and plumb in your line......EGT probe pre-turbo is more accurate as the turbo will cool down the temp 200-300 degrees

Show some pics of the gauge and mounting plz :grin:

Glowshift.

Some people don't like that they aren't accurate like Autometer but for 1/3 of the cost, and just for monitoring like I did, I couldn't beat the cost...

They make different ones. Check them out.

You tell us when your pistons drain out with your oil. :D

Over the years I have seen lots of temps that are not correct. People are running huge injectors and they have low egt's with a small turbo. Some gauges ( all brands ) are just not exact.

Mine is accurate. The gauge is compact and cheap what else do you need?

Right click and view image on my avatar, it's a good gauge for majority of users.

I've posted this picture a billions times. If you did a google search you would found the answers to you questions.

First sensor is the boost. The circled one is the fuel pressure if you had got that with gauge.

Yes. 3n1 with fuel pressure instead of temp sensor.
