Need a gauge to read intake charge temp
Hi,
I am looking for a gauge that can read the intake charge temp - I would guess with a range around -20 to 200 F...would prefere degrees F. I haven't found anything like this, most of the guages I find for this range are either external temp or water. I need one with a sender that can read the airflow temp the way EGT does.
Any help?
Thanks!

The scannners the easiest way

Wetach Gage has something that might fit your needs.
Look at model 2DC3-21.

actually, it does work.. alot of people DIY using these or the temp monitor from radio shack... but I guess you rather spend $230 than just the $30 bucks to try it.
or maybe you need another thread to ask which one you should use...
welcome anyways..
