    extra gauges

    sorry for sounding stupid but doesn't the vent across the dash, bottom of the screen do that. I'm talking about the one same length as the little rubber mat in the center (top) of the dash. definitly looks like a vent and you can poke a wire down a couple of the slots/holes but i've even put a...

    Why am I skidding?

    agree with lazy dog check rear brakes are working properly, done a few now with partially seized rear calipers, it has the effect of over braking on the front causing lock ups. first one I was ready to change the tyres, thought the rubber had gone off every time it was wet or slightly slippery...

    egt gauge

    About to do same, already decat and egr removed, about to tweek pump, thought it would be good to fit a couple of gauges (EGT AND BOOST) to look at any changes.

    Coolant temp gauge?

    Hi, after cooking the head big time on my 300 twice I became paranoid, (both times towing at relative high speeds) and so fitted an aux temp gauge as well as the standard one. I fitted it to the bottom hose because what appears to have been happening was the rad couldnt cope (as it turns out it...
