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.
What is the boost temp on a diesel engine?
While their gauge is not a dual they make a very nice EGT Part No R607VW and R607T for TIT (127.00). The hose clamp thermocouple option adds 16.00 to the total. The 0 to 15 psi boost R8611R (37.00). You can get these and many other diesel products at Diesel Injection Services.
How do you get the boost gauge out of a diesel?

What should my boost and EGT be on my Boat?
Your boost now is 21lbs and your EGT is still reasonable at 825 F. Now, what can we do over the next few months with these types of numbers and how can they help us monitor the performance of our engine and be sure that we are not exceeding acceptable operating conditions?
What’s the difference between boost, EGT, and horsepower?
Higher boost at these lower RPMs not only allows more HP to be produced, it keeps EGT at a safe limit. Boost (higher boost) is a GOOD thing. Now, imagine your new boat with twin high performance 300 HP turbo charged after-cooled diesels, and you are ready to start using the boat for its intended purpose.
