So my McNalley boost/EGT gauge dropped and LED segment again. It is too small of boost range anyway at 0-30 PSI, initial spike is pegging it every time. I am thinking of new gauges and am leaning heavily toward ISSPRO. Going to add a EMP gauge while I am at it.
First question is if an EGT gauge will still be necessary when I am monitoring EMP? The EGT gauge was handy going over mountain passes when the car still had the stock turbo and nozzles, taught me to drop to 4th even when it still pulled 5th well as EGTs were getting to the danger zone. But I expect the longer injection duration combined with a tiny turbine was the reason. Thinking EMP was getting pretty high under those conditions though it might have provided the same basic warning. However, now with a GTB2056VK and shorter duration with the bigger injectors it shouldn't be the same issue. Thoughts?
Second question I am hoping to hear from some of the experienced tuners using the GTB turbo's from both sides of the pond. What range of EMP gauge should be most appropriate for my 2056 turbo. I am pushing 28 PSI through a mildly ported head with a Colt Stage II cam, Drivers Fire tube manifold and out through a 3 in. straight exhaust. I am thinking a 0-40 PSI boost gauge. Should I go 0-60 on the EMP gauge or go for the 0-100 PSI?
