-The GS gauges are priced about double what they are most likely worth, but for the few dollars spent hopefully they provide a decent read out. They've already been installed, so only time will tell how they make out. If the pyro stays as accurate as it is currently, it will be good. Now, the boost...its basically linked to the intake manifold directly since this one has the tube to measure pressure rather than a sensor. Minus the factory calibration and (I believe) the stepper motor part of it, the read out in theory should be fairly accurate. I'll hook up Insite and see what is the difference from the GS gauge to the IMAP readout.

- I'll have to check out Speedhut in the future if these decide to tank.




.....Now if I could just cut a window in the side of this MF'n HPFP to see the shape it in at all times lmao!

There is no stepper motor in these gauges. They will work without power supply. Google Bourdon gauge.
Pyro is simple ampere meter. Thermocouple producing really small electrical potential so bad connection can affect accuracy. Sensing element in thermocouple is on very tip of the probe. Make sure it touches to the manifold to provide real temperature.
