MadDad Gauges Installed

Picked them up a week or two ago and finally got around to it. Replaced my old chincy boost gauge and picked up oil pressure and EGT. Wideband was going to get stuffed into the radio cage but was literally impossible to fit it so it will go back up top where it used to be.







The red buttons are calibration buttons for the Boost and Oil Pressure gauges

I am having issues with the gauges themselves and am waiting on some tech support to help figure it out... Who knows but they sure as hell look great!!!

O, and yes, that is a escaine backing.... because I'm a baller like that

Looks great. That would look even sweeter in mine with all the red gauges & buttons.

Re: MadDad Gauges Installed

So are you just not going to have a radio? Or do you have that rigged up somewhere else?

Who needs a radio when you have an exhaust that sings?

Re: MadDad Gauges Installed

They look real good (I love red). You can close the door with no problems? Also, nice little piston keyring I got my commemorative one when I blew a hole in my ER27.

I would like it if you could give me your numbers on the EGT too if you could

1. Idle
2. Cruising
3. Beating the holy hell out of it

Thanks man

Tom

Re: MadDad Gauges Installed

Hey, I've got other bills to pay

YT - I'll get you the EGT figures soon. I've got a mental image of where the needle was sitting on the drive back from OT's, just have to get back in front of the gauge to get the actual numbers.
