I like my full sweep mechanical. I just need to upgrade to one that reads higher than 35 psi.

The ones they sent me were the 1600 pyro 60psi and 300 trans. I had to send them back because i thought they were bad but it was a short in my wiring :/ so when they sent them back i asked for the 30 boost and 250 trans and also had them ship the clamp for the egt sensor so i didnt have to tap anything. Made it MUCH easier. Took maybe 5 min to install the sensor, and that includes drinkin a beer and crawling under the truck lol
