Nope. Just take it easy for the last mile or so before you turn the car off and make sure oil temps are close to thermostatic temperature.

OK cool. One more thing. How about monitoring egt. I'm running stock block with 11:1 compression. How much worry is there of too much heat in exhaust gas temps melting pistons. My car will be professionally tuned and will prob go with innovate boost control so I can have safe cut for af

Most of us are stock block too. I don't monitor EGTs.

I got lucky and found it on ebay. I getting from some guy in Japan. He has two left, you can get one from the link. I also bought the sensor's and harness. I ended up paying around 400 for all the items needed for install.

Next to boost, afr is probably the most important one.

Considering most boost controllers read your boost levels as well, I would consider your A/F ratio gauge to be your #1 gauge to have to watch/maintain.

Is everything you are getting what is pictured? Reason I ask is I don't see the main unit. All I see is the gauge dial and the sensors.

Well bad news, that Greddy gauge I bought was a fake..... Yea i'm a dumbass.... So i am just going to go with the innovate gauges, an afr and Oil temp/pressure. Any advice were I can get a fair price and all the sensor's I need?

I was questioning it when I saw it was less than $100. I paid $525 new when it was still available just for the Multi-gauge and two sensors. The extra 2 sensors were over $100/ea.

Sorry to hear you got scammed. Did you pay with PayPal?

I got pretty good prices from THMotorsports. They are a vendor on here so you can probably PM them what you need and see what they best package forum member price is for what you need.

I got both the Innovate SCG-1 and the Innovate MTX-D Oil off of eBay. I haven't had the need/want for another gauge as of yet.
