Get a Innovate AFR setup mate...

I got mine with Bosch Sender,Gauge,Controller and loads of other bits for U.S ebay for £160 posted..

Awesome Peice of kit....If you can spend abit more get the V.E.Ms motorsport Dual Setup It got EGT & AFR in one gauge...

IRRC in a Turbo car you Need Oil Temp, Oil Pressure,EGT & AFR and boost (psi)

You can then Monitor what the cars doing while in W.O.T...

Nope. I just need to be sure that fitting the senders with a sandwich plate is the best way and that it won't catch on anything. What you reckon?

Update: Finally got round to fitting my gauges the other day and as expected I came across a few problems. The sandwich plate I fitted has 4 ports. One of which would make the sender foul on the driveshaft, the other against the cooler line and ther other into the pulley. So that left me with 1 safe port:



So I went to Pirtek, a hose assembly place who do our fork lift hose's and got them to make me a 10" braided pressure hose with a 1/8 NPT male thread to a female T piece the same size. Took a few days:



How the senders were:



Then fitted that and relocated the senders out of the way. The downpipe sits around an inch from the floor so needed these high to reduce risk of them being numbed!



Then we wired them all In:



Dodgey ebay pod!:



and how they look at night:




A lot of tricky work thanks to fitting a 2L in a biscuit tin but still Im happy with the result and they're serving a very good purpose. Cheers for reading, I know I'm boring.

Cheers Nic. I may post this up on Mig because I posted a couple of threads regarding senders fouling on things but no one replied.

loving the gauges mate, they look ace Had a brain wave after the meet about that little gap where the pod sits on the pillar, a nice set of wind deflectors would make it a lot less noticable
