Whats the best way step by step to set up a pyro gauge in a 1st gen non intercooled 12v?

 

There is a step by step YouTube video out there

 

Might be something in the sticky too, havent looked in there for awhile myself.

 

drill and tap into your down pipeand just add 200 degrees in your head when driving then run your lie into your cab to your gage and find the wire for your running lights and wire that into your gauge so it lights up all pretty like at night time

 

It's a progressive increase. So it may be 200, at 1000 deg but 350 at 1200

I would put it pre turbo.

 

x2 pre turbo is more accurate. Not that hard just drill off center of the manifold and stick a little magnet in there to get as many shavings out as possible then tap it with a little grease on the tap.

 

Bolding mine.

 

I have both pre and post. Never seen more than 200 difference. But, if you really want to be pit nikky #6 is the hottest due to less air making it to that cylinder. Put your probe in the runner as close to the cylinder head as possible.

 

have any of you with pre turbo gauges had any problems with the tip of the probe getting boken up and sucked into turbo?
