map sensor / ses light
where can I get a pressure regulator with gauge that is fairly small? I work at an auto parts store and all of ours are too big. I saw cat man diesel's truck pics, his regulator is perfect.

you can get a boost control vavle that is made to fit the map line of the 7.3 and control the overboost/defuel problems of a modified engine www.dieselinnovations.com
it does not have a gauge on it, but unless you are riding under the hood you will not be able to see the gauge anyhow

Hey Bigpowerstroke - I got mine at a local hardware store for about $10 - I think the one from DI is more than that. And no you can't see the gauge under the hood - but it is useful for setting up the pressure that it lets the MAP sensor see. I used my air compressor, set down to 40psi, to set the adjustable regulator.

catman963 i have a question, i have been doing some research on building a controller like yours, i found a company that sells a 0-30 psi gauge so i can get the regulator set right at 24 psi, however all the reulators i have found(in the 20-25 dollar range) say they have a max operating temp of 80* i am guessing it gets alot hotter than that under the hood and would affect the accuracy of the regulator?
