I used the t fitting that came with my gauge.


I just cut the hose in 1/2 that feeds the WG and stuck the t in there and away I went. This was on a lb7, cant do it on a lly.


My fitting is just a plastic t with 2 barbed ends and a threaded end for the line to the gauge. I'm planning on installing into the manifold when I get my cool man Super Diesel widget. If you want I could mail ya my fitting. I got mine with my dipricol gauges. Very good readability but I duno if my pyro probe dided or the gauge took a crap? EGT's are way off. Jury is still out, wouldnt be the first edge probe that died.

Here's mine, I made up the tee out of a brass block fitting, compression fitting adapter and two hose nipple to threaded adapters.

I'm looking to put a pyro and boost guage in my truck (when it get's here)http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley7.gifdo you have any other info that could help me out on how to install. I saw in your other photos that you have the mount for the two guages how does that all go together.


Thanks

Ozzy, there's a lot of information spread out amongst the forum for this process - is basically the same but has many variations. I used a 2-gauge pod with Isspro gauges that I bought as a package from www.kennedydiesel.com (http://www.kennedydiesel.com) I thought there were some detailed instructions in the DIY forum, but don't see them there. I believe Hoot has some detailed photos in his album (before he went Dodgehttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif that is). I had the installed the gauges before I upgraded my Edge Juice to the Attitude - so I now have two pyros - original Isspro in the passenger manifold and Edge in the driver's manifold. I wasn't going to strip out the existing gauges when I got the Attitude - but it is a much cleaner solution with digital presentation of EGT and senses boost pressure off the CAN bus with no mechanical connection required. If I was starting from scratch, I'd go with the Attitude and skip the gauges.
