Yeah, those digital industrial style are great for the alarms as when it gets gnarly sometimes the EGT is the last thing one looks at when the red mist appears... but can't beat an analog for seeing the trends tho.
The LED/LCD combo ones could be the go too. I stuck with a VDO 'cause I'm a cranky old fashioned bugger but either way there are heaps to choose from eh...
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Pyrometer ... some further info please!
Can anyone advise what celcius temperature range I should monitor with a VDO gauge. The gauge I'm looking at goes to 900 celcius.

900 celcious max is plenty . see you have a crd 3lt with 3'' exh . have read on this forum the crd run fairly hot around 600 ish but the bigger exh should help you keep it cooler .
The price of excellence is dicipline , the cost of mediocrity is dissapointment .

Thanks for the replies. Have purchased VDO pyrometer and will get a Booster as well. What temperature range should the Booster gauge show. I have seen 15psi and 30psi????

Hi, Also getting a VDO Boost Gauge, have seen gauge reading to 15psi and 30psi but I don't know which would be better. Would appreciate some suggestions.

If you set up Dawes and needle it will only ever spike to around 18psi, but mainly max around 15/16 psi so I would get the one going to 30psi for a bit of headroom so to speak, this would also alert you if something went badly wrong and you were getting over boosting for whatever reason
