Hey ya,
Christmas arrived today. See below...
I'm installing these in the challenger 4m40.
So will post the process.
Boost gauge
EGT Gauge
Boost controll
I understand no point spacing the waste gate as boost controller does similar thing? Is that right?
Might have some spare Egt and boost controllers to sell too.

Spare EGT you say?
Tell me more eg what would it take for you to part with one & what colour is the backlight?

would have been better if you bought diesel ones rather than petrol.
you will need to have the egt gauge as pre turbo sensor otherwise it will annoy you as it will do very little if its after turbo.

I'm installing in middle of exhaust manifold pre turbo so gauges are well suited.
I will install mine on Monday and you can decide if you like the look. I specifically bought this model for its light colours and the warning alarm that's adjustable to set.

Update...
Wired gauges in and set in place on the steering column surrounds.
Fed wires through firewall and next is pluming in the boost line and egt probe

All done and working well.
I love the peak and warning light function and backlight options for night.
Easy enough job which could save big bucks in the future.
Once I've got some temps down I will play with boost and fuel.
Very pleased with end result.
Cheers
