Where can you get an EGT gauge, also known as a pyrometer for a decent price. I found one but it was over $300. Is there anywhere cheaper and what brand do people recomend.

VDO are about the cheapest I think. YOu can get them from any of the car parts stores.
When I was going to get one, The cheapest price I found was from Repco. Think it was around $210, for a VDO EGT kit that was in celsius.

What would you class as cheap?
As the cheapest I found was the VDO and I have always thought they where good quality guages.
They also had one of the cheapest Boost guages (and it only measured boost - I thought was good).

Ian's a great bloke and he's a fellow 4x4 owner. A lot of us Landy drivers are using his EGT readout. It's a digital readout, with either a warning buzzer or a min/max memory.
