How do I reset my SAAS boost gauge?
How do I reset my SAAS boost gauge?
– Digital read out: Turn ignition on > press and hold button for 10 seconds until digital display flashes > release button > press and hold button again to adjust your desired setting > release button > gauge will exit setup after 5 seconds.
Why do you need an EGT gauge?
The exhaust gas temperature (EGT) pyrometer can be one of the most important gauges on a turbo-diesel-powered vehicle. It can warn the driver of situations that are potentially damaging to the engine, and it can also be used as a guide for optimizing fuel economy.
Where do you fit an EGT probe?
EGT Probe Installation Methods The probe should be installed in the exhaust manifold closest to the exhaust outlet at the head (this is the closest physical location to the exhaust valve).
How do you change the color of Saas gauges?
– Turn ignition on > press button once to change colour. -Turn ignition on > press and hold button for 15 seconds > release button > press button again to turn beeps on or off > gauge will exit setup after 5 seconds.
What is pyrometer gauge?
A pyrometer is a temperature gauge designed to measure high temperatures above those measurable with an ordinary thermometer. It consists of a temperature-sensing probe (thermocouple) that is placed in the area, or flow, to be measured. The purpose is to measure and display EGT in degrees Fahrenheit (F.).
Can a boost gauge be fitted to an EGT?
It is very possible to have extreme EGT’s with the resultant cracked pistons, head damage, cracked valves and yet have the engine temp read normal. Fitting the boost gauge and EGT would also open up further tuning potential. I decided on Autometer as they are know to be very high quality and if bought from the US, well priced.
What is the cost of a boost gauge?
2DC2-30SS type k thermocouple wire EGT 1″ Probe 1-5/8″ to 2″ round Clamp 4′ steel braid lead 712-2DWK Illumination Light Kit. The total price should be around 215.00 (back in 2001). Westberg also makes mechanical boost gauges.
What does an EGT gas temp gauge do?
An EGT gauge is a thermocouple pyrometer. If you install the sensor after the turbo you read exhaust temps. If you install the sensor before the turbo you read the turbine inlet temperature.
How big is the EGT hole on an imperial drill?
The 2 gauge pod came from eBay to suit 2 1/16″ (52.4mm) gauges. EGT thermocouple drilled and tapped into the side of the exhaust manifold before the turbo. This is the best position to detect EGT. Hole is imperial drill size 0.332 with a 1/8″ NPT tap run through it.
How do you hook up an EGT gauge?
Once you have the EGT gauge, attach the probe (which usually has an olive to squash onto the probe) and run the wires through the firewall and into the vehicles cab. Power can come from existing accessories (like the cigarette lighter), and then you just hook the wiring up to the gauge.

Do you need EGT gauge before or after Turbo?
If you are playing with fuel/air ratio, fitting a larger turbo or running higher boost, a quality EGT Gauge is a must. Without it, you may find that the engine runs too hot and does damage. Before or after the turbo?
An EGT gauge is a thermocouple pyrometer. If you install the sensor after the turbo you read exhaust temps. If you install the sensor before the turbo you read the turbine inlet temperature.
