Can you run the TST w/o using the guages?

I just got my used TST w/ guages and it didn't have the pyro or wiring for it. I don't mind ordering the parts but in the meantime can I still hook up the box and run it? I already have all the guages so I'm not worried about anything.
Or, can I use my existing Westach pyro??? Sure would be nice....

Kind of wondering the same thing. Is it possible to "double tap" a pyro probe, hook to gauges to the same probe?

If I hookup this probe to the TST, I'll get rid of the other guage. I don't want to double tap or run two guages..

It also didn't come with the boost fitting but I'm not sure I even need it since I'm running the HTB2 turbo now....

you can run the TST and another gauge off of the same probe. I am and it works well for me. it doesn't have a boost fitting because it uses the MAP sensor for the gauge. you can run it w/o a probe no problem, the R37 doesn't use the pyro leads and all they do is bolt the 2 pyro leads together. The TST is the same between the R37 and R47, just different controllers.

The answer is "YES" you can run the TST without guages... But you can also jump out of a plane without a parachute!
You only need a Parachute to do it twice!

I didn't mean run the TST without any guages. I have all the guages already. I'm talking about the built in guages on the controller for the TST...

Why not? Use the TST to handle EGT shut down and the analog to read.
Nevermind... I thought you had the R49.

Better yet, use one for post turbo to really see whats going on with your new turbo!

BTW what is the Max EGT reading that the TST is capable of displaying? I would keep the Gauges since the Boost on the TST won't read correctly over 40 Psi(upper limits on the factory Map sensor)

I have seen my Autometer Pyro gauge pegged at 1600* and the TST Remote(R49) EGT reading at 1710*. The two pyro sensors are pre-turbo about an inch and a half apart in the exhaust manifold between cylinder 3 & 4.
