Depends where you mount the thermo couple

[timucin]

planning to install at the end of down pipe,under the car

Hmm, well its nice and easy to mount one infront of lamda just after turbo
or u can do what i did and mount in the manifold.

the temp across the turbo should be about a 100 degree C drop

That means your turbo has just melted and exited the back of the car :wacked:

I'm sure 850degrees Celsius/Centigrade is the max limit before damage can occur - this is after the turbo in the downpipe. So there is'n much point having a guage that goes upto 2000 degrees C

I need one as well - it's an easy way to see if something is wrong or about to go wrong - Lee definitely needs one

Looks good to me. I think I will get the autometer one - although one with a warning buzzer might be useful.

you can do a search on that web-site; much cheaper then demon tweeks (where i used to buy before)
