Default Also in Todays News.. Charge temp gauge?
Bit of a mix match, a kit bought from a fella on scabynet, PC temp display with a resistor and a solid metal probe add some extra cable, a bit of soldering and hey presto..
Refresh is about 1.5 sec, not as fast as you would like, but then it didn't cost much

Fitted this afternoon,.. not sure if I should start the engine or not and suck a big lump of metal through it! The hole that the probe sits in is about half the diameter of the probe, so it was a dam tight squeeze so I doubt if anything was even needed to seal...worried about boost leak of course!
I bonded the probe to the pipe with sugru but thinking perhaps I should have used some 10min epoxy?

Too far down for me to see too Tim, but the only place I could mount it without it making the dash look eww! It can be closed away (out of sight out of mind) for normal use etc.

Its really for Wanda to see... When where going up the Kemmel Straight out of Eau Rouge,.. She can let me know when the Top mount has had enough
