Recommend gauges anyone?
Well right now I'm in the process of replacing my oil cooler and egr delete due to puking and white smoke.
I would like to start monitoring temps and stuff.
Can anyone recommend a good set? Or maybe one that does it all?
Thanks

You "might" have detected/prevented the Oil/Exhaust cooler failure(s).
Then add the sensor and separate analog gauge for Fuel pressure
to make sure you aren't starving the injectors under certain conditions.

Hey ps 90, the egr cooler ends that exhaust exit and enter get closed up. This means you have to weld stainless steel. I weld also, have hobart mig welder but i would have to put in stainless wire and not sure if i have the right gas. My friend builds hot rods and has TIG welder i will let him do it . But once it welded shut it is pretty much a water line. my cooler was not damaged, but i guess it wouldnt mater if it were leaking as long as the plugs do not leak, it would be just a big resivior. then you can either put egr valve back in or make a plate to seal the hole.
