I am giessing that it is like a pre alarm condition. IE Pyro sets of a warning at 1200* Coolant at xxx* like that.

Fuel pressure more then 50psi??? Or less then 50psi? A stock OBS with a mechanical fuel pump will see spikes and lulls below 40psi. Just trying to understand your thought process...
Good idea on the boost gauge...
Boost 0-30 would be at say 25 psi
Boost 0-40 would be at say 30-35psi?
Boost 0-60 would be at 40 psi...
Kind of go up as the boost does to step up as the mods do...
Mine is set at 35 psi right now to test the function, as I can hit that fairly easy.
Water temp is set at 190* as well. it was on most of the way from Bend to here...LOL

Problem with a buzzer... What if its something that may go off for a while... A pyro would be one thing, but a oil temp, or a water temp would **** you off on a hot day pulling a grade with a few horse...

My eyes are usually in the mirrors when I'm pouring the coal to her.
By the time I see the pyro, its coming down.

I'm interested Joe. The wife is looking for a different set of gauges. The other light up warning type gauges either seem too expensive or too cheap. Please keep me updated on these.
I'm not sure why you had ECT set so low. I've seen EOT running around 208 when empty on a warm day down in Texas.
If the light started flashing, you would look at the light, and therefore be looking at the correct gauge I would think.

Longer than I should. If you seen the way my boss loads our trailers, you would understand.
