    Digital EGT Gauge

    Looking at putting an EGT gauge in my car.
    Will probably buy an Auber Instruments:

    Could someone confirm which "Mounting Type Option" that I need to fit a Frankenturbo F23.
    Thanks.

    Are you tapping into the exhaust manifold collector?

    I have got to check with Seb.
    I am sure he said that there was a bung on the output side of the turbo.
    Could be wrong though.

    Always better to read pre-turbo for EGT as there are a bunch of thermodynamics reasons that a post turbo reading can give you false/non-representative indications about whats going on.

    Quite acceptable to drill and tap a manifold though if that's what you need to do.

    Also, I just bought a boost/EGT guage set on ebay from an Australian seller.... racetech gauges, but ones with high reading recall and audio/visual warning aswell.

    Forgot that I keep all that "useful stuff" floating about in the garage. Wait one caller.........

    No bolt holes in the turbo fellas.

    The probe is in the downpipe on the S3/TT so you can use whatever you like. Have you had a new downpipe made for yours or are you using the adapter pipe?

    The weld in stainless one would probably be the sensible one?
