95% of the ones I looked into out for sale in the wild were mechanical gauges not automotive ones. I finally followed Dan’s lead and got the Pittsburg kit from HF. When numb nuts returns I’ll check the system pressure…which I’m sure is 0psi. AZBob Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 18, 2023, at

Lol, forgot to add is not runs like crap and uses huge amounts of fuel. Never did get why morons want to remove the ALDA since that’s where all the power comes from — no increased fuel with boost means far less HP. For a 3L diesel those have plenty of go anyway — I know, I have a 300D sedan.
