Hey guys,
In the market for EGT and Boost gauges, what are people using, prices for EGT gauges i've had are all around the $350 mark, which includes the fitting kit.

Anyone using Racetech gauges, are they any good, example below.

Or what other good gauges are out there not way over-priced.

Cheers,
Shaun...

Hi mate, not sure about Racetech but I use the Autometer brand and they work a treat!

This guy below on the forum sells them for a good price.

The instructions are very easy even I was able to do my own ...

Yep, got 4 and they work well, get the alarm and peak model and it alerts on adjustable limit
The EGT has done a probe at around 2 years old, pretty cheap to replace.
Best part is small size, can fit in supplied pod to pillar in GU

Just to add I got my boost/egt gauge all in one from Mc.Nally in the USA. One gauge, fits in a cup that sits right in between the speedo and tacho. No need for the ugly (IMHO) pillar mounts.

I installed the pyro sensor on the outside bend above the cat. You need to cut a hole in the turbo shield too for the wiring.
