egt gauge dosn't go low enough. try to get one that goes down to zero.
boost gauge is ok but its electronic and the senders can go faulty. mechanicals are cheaper and more reliable. the reading range is ok tho.

oh ok thanx for the info. I think they have a few different egt gauges on there store.
id love to buy Autron brand gauges, they advertise them on 4wd action but there so expensive.

Thinking of a boost gauge myself but can't really see much point of of the vacuum side of it as the YD25 is almost or is positive pressure at idle.

I'll see mine go vacuum when engine braking though. Not sure if that'll damage the gauge?

ye diesels don't make vac. but I cant realy find any good looking ones with a good price other than them. i don't want to make it look rice spec but i want to to look similar or suit the dash cluster

vacuum side of the boost gauge can come in handy.

diesels can make vacuum. this is due to the egr butterfly in the intake. they use it to reduce air flow into the engine to lower nox and also to low pressure so more egr can flow in. but if egr is off or blocked and the butterfly is shut you will see vacuum.

the other time is when you have an blocked intake or a turbo thats not spinning up properly. the turbo itself can be enough restriction to make vacuum.

If any wants a really good gauge I have just had Depo Racing gauges fitted to my pillar EGT and Boost... They are very accurate and suit the dash better than most gauges I have seen and they are duel view and have a anolog and digital display which is very handy....$300 for both 60mm gauges from the Aus auto warehouse

I have installed a water and boost gauge in my patrol on a pillar pod from these guys, both work as they should but they are quite difficult to see during the day, the smoked lens creates a lot of reflection if any sunlight is in the cab.

I bought the 60mm duel view gauges, they were around $400 but after a bit of haggling I got them for $300 including shipping
