Small update but sometimes even the smallest of updates can be interesting to read!!
I've been sorting gauges today,
2 boost - one pre charger and one after
Oil pressure - plumbed in and working
Oil temp - not working, unsure why at the moment
EGT - The gauge is just a cheep Chinese jobby but the sender is the one which Darren left in the manifold so i assume will be of a decent quality but it doesn't work
It does work when connected to the sender that came with the gauge but I do't really want to use it. Also the cheep gauge cycles through the colours continuously which is disappointing I thought that I would be able to choose between the 7 colours available?

Had a major power steering leak a few days ago too which turned out to be the front cooler? It had rusted right through and had given up permanently! So... I cut the f*cker off and bypassed it, anyone had to to this before? Will there be any issues like this?

Also still no rev counter despite much metering, soldering and bodging! I'm going to need a replacement loom at some point I think, will probably be easier in the long run.
End of play today

Videos are a bit crap due to failing light but hey
