Ok, I put my boost guage and water temp guage on this weekend and now I have a few questions. First off, my water temp guage reads 180*-200* before the stock guage is even a quarter of the way up!! The stocker still rides about halfway (normal) when the car is fully warmed. The temp guage I installed reads 200* after full warm up. Does this sound right? Is the stock guage that inaccurate? Maybe it has something to do w/ the way I powered the new guage.
My second and most important question is: Why when I dim the lights on the dash and new guages the water temp. guage drops by as much as 15*-20* Turn the lights up and the temp guage goes up?!:shrug: I'm thinking I should've put the switched 12v for the temp gauge on its on hot line? Its hooked up w/ the power wire that runs the lights on the guages.
Thanks guys,
Verlin
