Recommendations on EGT Gauge?
So, for my upcoming build I am going to want an EGT gauge. Anybody have experiences or recommendations on which gauge to get? I was looking at the Greddy one but I would like to see the temps in Fahrenheit. My other gauges are 52mm so I would wanna stick with that.

Digital gauge and thermocouple that will fit under the radio in an NA or under the dash if you want it there. It is programmable for an alarm function for overheat and has peak temperature memory. All that for under $50. Plus thermocouple, of course.

And no, I haven't seen a thermocouple that comes in M18x1.5 yet.

I like the idea of having an alarm if it goes over a certain amount. From what I've been reading, rising EGT's are a very early indication of something going wrong. The first thing that comes to mind is a failed/failing water injection system.

i had prosports in my evo i loved them. also an old DSM trick is EGT's will spike with knock and also based on ignition timing. and like someone else said the water injection will lower egts significantly which is
