Yes, but when time travelling, bright lights on the dash are the least of your worries,





I have a digital egt gauge in my car and when my 22 year old son saw it, he asked what time and date are we going back to?   ;D

That is a sweet gauge!! I'm excited. I'm definitely going to order one up as soon as I sell this one. Its going on eBay as soon as I can!

Speaking of eBay. Looks like aubrrinstruments eBay account sells the egt and probe combo for 61 vs. The websites 81... They don't have two different gauges do they? Or a better probe?

And I think they aubrr gauges on the dash would look strangely appropriate in this car I saw in town a couple days ago..

I just tried to add a setup  on their website and its under $95 shipped for red unit and 1/8npt probe.

I have ordered from their site with shipping calculator and all their other product, they still take paypal.  I don't see the discount for going ebay route and watch closely at what they are actually bundling since they carry so much stuff.

Okay just ordered up the Auber Green EGT Bundle with 1/8NPT egt Probe! 101.50 shipped to my door. Amazing deal. Wish I would've known about them to start out with. I'm putting this westach on ebay and try to get rid of it. If all else fails I guess i'll just have an extra aircraft egt around :/ After checking it again with propane i've determined it was my mounting too far downstream mixed with the gauge not starting to read till 700. So someone who has an aircraft or some other vehicle may find use for this.

Psyched for my Auber! Anyone have pics of where they mounted theirs?

I nuked the ashtray (since I don't smoke) and put the gauge there. My digital egt gauge from China was rectangular and fit in very snugly - but without any cutting\modding etc.

I kinda picked an awkward spot, but all the other real estate was spoken for. I can mostly see it through the hole of the steering wheel, but sometimes my view gets blocked when I am turning.

It's nice that the Auber gauges have the programmable alarm setting that you can hook up to a speaker. I wonder if I can hook a remote LED up to it instead and put it somewhere easier to see!
