Where do you purchase the Pyro gauge and boost gauge?
What brand gauges do you recommend?
Thanks,
Warren

My pyro gauge came from a truck salvage yard, cost me $20, the thermocouple came from Hewitt Industries (Google it) and cost about $40.
The "boost" gauge is an industrial pressure gauge with a range of 0-20 psi. It cost $10 new.

I have autometer boost/pyrometer guages. The boost guage was about $45 and the pyrometer was $135 (including sending unit), I got them through summitracing.com. They usually have the best prices around, another good online store is jegs.com. Ebay has some good deals too.

Bjorn,
I really like your gage set-up. I am adding the gages also when I swap out my turbo.
I checked out the Hewitt site for thermocouples. Do you recall what the part number was for the thermocouple you installed? Any installation do's/don'ts? How far upstream from turbo should it be installed? How difficult is the cast iron manifold to drill and tap? Also, what are the average boost and EGT readings associated with the turbo (in order to get the correct range gage). Sorry for all the questions, thanks for any advice!
