EGT Monitor

Check again for EGT and cylinder head temperature sensors for ultralight aircraft, on Aircraft Spruce and Specialty and on Wicks Aircraft Supply. Seems to me, they've had combined units sharing one gauge for a lot less money than noted above.

I had to look around for one that went to 1800F, lots of them only go to 1600F. I do believe if I see my gauge pegged at 1800 for more then a few seconds, I am slowing down. Too much money in the headers and the turbo to "cook" them.
I have read that some have seen 2400F when the car starts to backfire but I think the noise would be a clue to back off.

I have yet to find an inexpensive 4-probe EGT monitor/display in the automotive world, but MGL Avionics has a 2.25" round display that will handle up to 4 thermocouples (K-type compatible) for $225. Chief Aircraft has them, see the link for the MGL-TC1 unit:

...just thought someone might find this useful. If there are better alternatives in the automotive world, I'd like to find out about them.
Cheers
