EGT gauge not working?
I installed my isspro gauges today and the pyrometer does not read. Everything is hooked up correctly and the other two gauges work fine. The gauge lights up and looks like it would work but the needle will not move. Could it just be a faulty gauge or something I did wrong? I was thinking that the gauge just didn't work so I am going to call diesel manor tomorrow and talk to them. Thanks for any ideas.
Edit:
One more thing, the boost gauge only goes to 30 but when you put it on the floor the gauge maxes out at 30. Are these normal boost readings. At cruising speeds it was reading 6-8 if I remember correctly. Was I wrong in ordering 30 psi instead of 60? Thanks again.

you should of went with a 60psi boost gauge. so far i have had 38psi boost WOT with a stock turbo.
as per the pyro gauge, this may sound dumb but i made the mistake. I have a trans temp sensor and it has a 12v power input on the jbox, i dont know if the pyro has to have power supplied, but i figured it does since its electric. when I installed everything i didnt remember or relize that to hook up the 12v. Did you maybe forget this step? Other then that I would disconnect everything and put it on a external power supply and put a lighter to the sensor to see if it works in a controled area, you might of just missed a step somewhere.

Thanks guys. Turns out the gauge itself did not work. I tried everything so I called diesel manor back and tried everything they said to do but nothing, so Isspro is sending me a new pyro gauge tomorrow. Thanks again.
