HOW TO: Install EGT Gauge in your Cobalt SS

So i found out that no cars seem to come with an EGT gauge which after watching fast and furious i was baffled that they don't.

Very important for monitoring manifold pressure and i think it stands for Electronically Graphing Technical or something. But still very important and vital to have on any setup.

So here's how the gauge works:

install gauge by using the included double sided sticky tape anywhere on your vehicle, like on your seat belt, or the steering wheel over where the airbag goes so you can monitor it at all times

run the wires as shown in the diagram!!

Basically, you install it like in the chart below, and that's it! As long as your EGT's are up to check the indicator light will stay on and you will be safe and sound

hope this helps a couple of newbies



PS these gauges can be found on ebay for as low as 600 dollars

Where do I add the gauges fluid? Hopefully it's more simple than my wideband gauge, it always goes low when my car goes wide and is such a PITA to refill!
