Whos fitted them, where to and what parts/brands did you use? Id like to use mocal gauges if i can find the bits to go with them.

Are there any more useful gauges for a stage2+ hdi? Besides boost which ive already got.

Cheers

Exhaust has temperature & exhaust manifold pressure are the two more important ones in my view. These are essentially the things that will aid Headgasket Failure & head lift etc.

Too high emp/egt will kill turbos etc too.

Emp is fine as i have an external wastegate, so aslong as thats functioning that will never be too high. EGT is a good shout.

EGT for definate.

With my d turbo I got boost gauge in an a pillar pod and oil temp and pressure and EGT in the stereo slot

Any recommended brands that dont cost the world?

I went for some mid range ebay 1s. Im pretty happy with them tbh

for temp i can tap the sump yes? does anyone know if the top drain plug is low enough for a temp sender? would save tapping the sump. and where about to t into for the pressure?

I dont think the external wastegate reduceds EMP tbh? Its only really used where an actuator is difficult is it not?

I would assume with a hybrid you will still suffer from high emp

I have a oil temp and pressure with sandwich plate of the dturbo. Sure it will go on hdi

Make of the bits? pics? all working properly?

Will get pics. Ye all working mate

Get an emp gauge dude, it's essential if you're running these engines with a small turbo, especially after the troubles you've already had.

I sourced myself some Pro-sport 'electronic' gauges. Smoke face with white or orange selectable night illumination.
fitted a sandwich plate (kit-with 3 ports) under the oil filter. All from Ebay.
Initially I'm using a 3 gauge pod on top of the dash, but once I've made the mould, it'll be a 'custom top' to house them in.

Yeah this was sorted a long time ago, cheers though i ended up just going for stack gauges in the end.
