where can i get a water temp t-fitting for upper radiator pipe?
haha, ok, no prob. I'll remember to do it when i get back, outta this cold weather. Although it was 34 here (in indiana) yesterday morning, and 39 down in florida where i live. :shivers:
I know the exact hose pepsi is talking about, it goes from the t-stat housing to the turbo and would be super easy to tap into just like he said. I'm going to use the same line when I install my gauges...

Why not just disengage the sensor from the dash indicator and attach it to the aftermarket gauage. Dan did this for me up at Buschur, he just connected it to the AM one. I wasn't expecting it since I was deployed and told a buddy of mine to grab a box of guages I had left when they installed and tuned the EMS.

I'd stick with your gauge's unit.
Also, if it gets that hot, you'll get the idiot "OVER-TEMP" light, that i'm sure is somewhere on the dash (don't normally look for it
) and an idiot light on top of what you're doing, isn't all a bad thing.

thanks..

I'd like to try your approach, as it seems that my GReddy adapter order hasn't even shipped yet, and I'd really like to get another sensor installed... Thanks!
So I spoke with 42 Draft Designs and they will be releasing a water temp adaptor for the Evo shortly. It will be an OEM T-Stat housing with an additional fitting TIG-welded on for an aditional temp sensor. That should solve all the problems, price will be ~$50 from what I've been told.
