    guages?

    recently i asked the question about the steinbuaer module and was told that i should buy EGT and BOOST guages. i have been looking at them and there is so many different types so if someone can tell me exactly what i need (i.e mechanical, electric what psi etc) just let me know what set up you guys have so i can work out what will be best for my application cheers..... oh teh beast is a 2008 common rail 3L deisel.

    Hi mate I recently put on the autometer gauges and in my opinion they are the best value and quality for the price.

    eBay has them for sale pretty cheap and we also have them in the forums 4x4 store at the top of the page even cheaper I think.

    I'm using the iPhone at the moment but will post up some links for you tomorrow if no one else gets back to you tonight.

    Hey mate, if you have the CRD have at look at the Scangauge II . That will cover your boost and with the EGT just got to the forum store.
    if you go for the gauge then boost you need upto 20-30psi ans EGT you want to at least go to 700-800deg C

    When we ordered the steingbaur chip we were offered a boost gauge and this is what was supplied.

    Then when the 3" exhaust was fitted again this is the pyroguage that was suggested.
    As we bought them from a dealer we just went with what was suggested.



    I will have to look up the price if you want but I think they were expensive.

    I probably have one of the more expensive brands on the market.. I went with VDO gauges and have been wrapped with them

    i thought i would hijack this thread instead of strting a new one.
    i picked up my 2001 Patrol 3.0ltr TD yesterday, and it came with a Boost guage and another digital guage that i did not know what its for

    if someone has any idea that would be great. It has an in and out temp.

    is there any other aftermarket gauges i should be thinking about getting put in?

    and types of guages does everyone have for their dual battery systems?

    looks like a temp guage for inside/ouside ambient temp to me and not anything to do with the engine and what not................... could be wrong though

    I would be getting a pyro gauge to keep an eye on your exhuast gas temperatures mate (EGT's) and also have a read of these posts below for your 2001 3 Litre.
