Re: cant get egt gauge to read
Does the gauge start at 200 deg? It needs a bit of load to get to this, drive up a hill somewhere and see....

Yea it starts at 200

Other option is to pull the probe and put it over a small flame.

Did you wire it up correctly...
If the probe wires are transposed it will read the opposite way...

Ok, I had one of those in mine, in fact I have the digital version in there now. They work fine. Check the sensor, I had a faulty one which they replaced under warranty. I got mine direct off e-bay though...
Any chance of a pic of the manifold setup?
Where are you?
