$6.50 what a deal! Those buggers like to stick after years in a truck cab

Thanks for letting us know about this. I just tried calling, Apparently they are closed until January 3rd. Hopefully they have more than 1 available. My truck has the Banks turbo setup from the late 80's and for some reason a boost gauge was never installed when it was turboed. I called Banks awhile back to see how much their 0-15 PSI gauge was, bad mistake....

I ordered one a few weeks back, didn't see it arrive so I inquired about it while ordering some other stuff a few days ago. They said it shipped out but its apparently in USPS twilight zone somewhere. They sent me another one with my new order. Gauge looks good, made in India but for the price I'm not complaining.

I ordered a pyro. Does not come with a thermocouple. I actually tried to get mine running yesterday, but I could not get it to work. I am wondering if the pyro I have has to have th control box hooked directly to the thermocouple. I tried to hook it to the blue lead wire from the thermocouple and could not get any movement out of the needle. I ended up hooking my old pyro back up...

Im wondering if it takes a type K thermocouple like their other pyros? Should be a red wire and a yellow wire out of the thermocouple straight to the gauge, yellow goes to the + marked terminal.

$44 from isspro for the short thermocouple.

How well does it work? I have not installed mine, but the tubing kit I ordered looks like it will be pretty painless. Whats a good boost source to connect the gauge to on my turbo kit?

Works fine, I already had a tubing kit so I just ordered the gauges. Install is easy. I don't know about your Aurora ATS, but on my old 88 ATS the port for the gauge is on the back side of the intake hat. On my Hypermax Pulse it's right on top of the hat.
