No boost , WGFV ?

[AndyP]

Don't think the MFTS would cause an issue with boost

Yes it can, but unplugging it will restore boost if that's the issue.

if mine goes bad it will be disconnected and become a NFTS (no function temp sender)

Looks like we need to find a sender with the same thread and resistance to drive the temp gauge.

If the temperature gauge still works, then you can just remove the wire that is grounded when the over temp 'alarm' is triggered. Or, you can replace the sensor with a temperature only sensor and if your gauge goes up to 120degC (or whatever it is) then get your coat for not filling it up with water, forgetting to do up a hose clip properly or bleed it
