x2...buying cheap anything is a waste of money. What good would it be buying a cheap pyrometer if it isnt going to be accurate?? Accuracy counts and it doesnt come cheap.

If you wanted cheap you could use any air presusre guage and a boost guage would have cost you $6-8...

yeah glow shift is about the cheapest gauge you're going to get that actually works half right... hell i bought a stewart warner electronic pyrometer for 80 bucks but that doesnt include the probe or the harness between the two. and it still doesnt work right... i have yet to actually diagnose it, doesnt read jack until the grid heaters cycle. but the power circuit has nothing to do with the grid heater circuit so... dont cut corners, i'm just glad after my 366 spring install i didnt crank the fuel all the way up again. lets me sleep at night with out the pyro working
