good work ... I am glad that you guys are out there doing some very cool new things to make these cars come up.. will be nice to see how fast and reliable they can get to..

Have the lunar gauges on order ....is an additional "bung" needed to mount the EGT probe?? Also.. did they end up mounting the probe like ExhaustDepot's or elsewhere?
Thanks!

All parts are included with the lunar series. The ones here look stock, installed before the turbo. That type of install would be time consuming as you would need to remove the turbo and probably intake to clean out any filings from installation. If the weather holds I will crawl under the GT on ramps and get a picture post-turbo in the exhaust pipe after the turbo. The temperature will be cooler after the turbo, no one has been able to get me a exact number, but most agree in the area of 2-300 degrees cooler post turbo, still good enough to see over 1000 degrees and give you a good idea of temperature in your turbo. With the lunar you drill a hole, then use the self tapping bolt, that the egt then screws into.

RobGT - Off the subject but was looking at your Car Pics. How did you do the neon behind the grill? Really cool ! ! ! <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle>

Thanks Mich - I had a 8" Blue neon tube lying around after I ripped apart my bandpass sub box from my old vehicle (used one 12" sub for the PT)...just used wire ties to attach it to the bracket behind the grille, and tapped into the fog light wire for power - with one of those piggyback crimp connections...turns on/off with the fogs.
Its subtle..but check some of these out:

As promised here is a picture of the EGT probe. You can see the self-tapping hollow bolt that is screwed into a hole that is drilled into the exhaust, just after the special collar before the exhaust connects to the cast housing of the turbo. Do not drill the special collar, I believe it is layered with the ability to move with the engine torque. Once drilled and tapped, you screw in the EGT and route the wires. (Autometer Lunar Series EGT Probe)



Also using the Autometer pod, I used the Dark Slate Grey paint, which means that you will need to spray the opposite piller. They make an exact match for the Turbo trim. We like the dark lines going to the roof, which will be on both sides.



There is not a visibility problem in any direction with a pod installation in my opinion. The lunar series is a match at night with illumination color also.

Exhaust Depot:
I am unable to see if your turbo EGT has markings on it, but does it have a caution area or red area that suggests where you might be creating more heat than you should? Yours also looks stock as if it came with the car, installed from factory, correct? thanks
