have you got any room for one ?

[Ferg]

Where would you put it, your running out of room there. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/grin.gif Nice line of instruments. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif

ACT gauges: You could either put your own together, there are plenty of thermometers with external sensors to put in the intake, or get one that has been altered specifically for cars, ie Mr. Rainbirds ones, or other manufcatured ones. don't know much more than that... http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif

doe's the probe fit in the intercooler outlet or the charge pipe nearer the throttle can i have say 1/8 bsp insert fitted when my intercooler is made

The problem with some digital gauges is they have a slow update rate , 5 or 10 seconds, which is not what you really want, I beleive the one I'm getting has a fast update rate and work out what happening a bit easier.
