Warning system for guages??? Not sure if this is right forum...but is there any way I can tie in a warning system to my autometer guages? Something like...if my EGT goes above 1100* F, a warning light will illuminate. Is this possible? I'd figure it would be a similar system to that of your "fuel low" light...but something tells me its not that easy. And info?

This interest me too. I know all the new MSD gauges have warning lights in them like your looking for, but the price is pretty ridiculous right now for them (something like $250 or more for one gauge). I thought I read somewhere in the Appearance & Detailing section of the forums that people were inserting small LED into their gauges as warning lights. I think I remember seeing them say something about you having to have electric gauges for it to work, but I'm not sure. And I don't know how they got them to "trigger". Maybe some kind of resistor or something. Do a search in that section and see what you find.

I know some of you may hate the idea of doing this, but there are a LOT of gauges out there w/ the Peak/Hold/Warning feature that you are looking for. Granted they are primarily used in the import world, but they are of an extremely high quality and will set off those lights and noises you are looking for. Some will also play back the last 30 seconds of use and can show you the peak temp, boost, pressure, etc that you last achieved. Greddy, HKS, Blitz, and Defi are some of the best. Defi being my personal preference.
