Seriously though, Autometer gauges suck big hairy moose ****!

I thought you were going to say, They are gayer then a bag of dicks.

dz, regarding the Autometer EGT gauges...

It's all about the probe you buy. Autometer has two probes... one's like $100 the other's like $150 IIRC. The cheap one is crap, the expensive one is for pro drag-racing applications and works fine, even if it's attached to the cheaper gauges that only read to 1600F.

I had one for a while and got similar readings as your GReddy gauge. Dean (over on SECCS) owns the gauge now, and I haven't heard of any issues with the readings from him.

Also, regarding the boost gauges... the Autometer's aren't the best, but they're very passible if you keep the boost line short and use quality hose.

(It's all about "quality hoes".) <-- see what I did there?
