EGT probr fitted, so at this stage I have the boost and EGT readings.... Quick run around town and nothing drastic, boost maxes out at around 10 ? Cruising it sits 5-7 from what I can see. EGT's so far maxed out at 300C. My needle starts at 250C and it sits there 98% of the time so far. I really had to give it to the car to get the needle to move and then it hit 350 briefly, resting on 300 and dropping again quiet quickly. Not sure on how accuracy of this , I expected more tbh. HOwever it is early days as it's only been an hour since probe fitting and a quick 20 minute drive. And that is no towing or highway driving yet.
Waiting on the car to really cool down so I can pop that m12 bolt out of the thermosat and fit the sensor. Hoping coolant doesnt come gushing out...

Park up hill in case it does maybe , and trim that cable tie
with a blade I hate getting cut by those short ends. lol
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
It is uphill , my drives is like that unfortunately. But in this case it may prove a positive. lol
I have a lot of unfinished cable ties on the car as it is currently a cabling worksite.

If you want to avoid a mess, drop the coolant level by opening the tap under the radiator.
Parking uphill won't change much with your heater hoses higher than the radiator.

Another small hurdle the sensor was super tight to get into the adapter, even though it was a correct thread .
Had to drill and open the adapter a bit so the tapered bit of the sensor probe would fit .
But even then only 3mm of probe is sticking through . Wonder if this will be enough to pick up temperature OK? ??

It should be fine. An aftermarket gauge is good to yse in conjunction with the factory unit. You will get to know what temps it runs at and then moniter it. Usually the part of the probe that does all the work is in the very tip anyway.
As for putting it in just leave the rad caps on and you will only lose a small amount. And be quick.

Did they give you some sealing washers with those fittings?
