I thought keeping things separated is more organized, kinda having one forum for all mb stuff, or having one for diesel, one for petrol ect.

This is the egt gauge I have.

Gauge type: EGT gauge

Size:2"

Link (location): http://aircraftspruce.com/catalog/inpages/micro2egt.php

Price: $54.95

The only minus is that the gauge starts reading at 800* f, though it's very fast reacting. The temps change as I change the throttle pedal position.

I reccommend www.parkerperformance.com for gauges, they had the best price for me before when I bought my VDO boost gauge.

After a certain point it becomes more cluttered than helpful.

True, but with only 1 "sticky" in this forum, I don't think there is much danger of that happening in here any time soon.

I vote that all 3 of the "deals" threads be made into "stickies"...

1 is more than enough, the last thing we want is Sticky World like the DD forum.
