[s-cars] Intake Temp Gauge and Tap?

[Lewis, Gary M]

Ooohhh ooohh oh...  California thing?  Bring yo' ghetto-livin', rice-drivin, goldchain-wearin' candy-a$$ over to Cali, we'll show arm candy.

But seriously, the Davtron IS a gauge.  It is smaller and less conspicuous than the SPA.  I've seen it on many a Porsche Turbo, and the Ned crowd was sporting them pretty hard.  I personally don't want another gauge in the car, but that is just me.  And the Davtron is a lot cheaper.

You might want the whole SPA line if you are a ghetto-livin', rice-drivin, goldchain-wearin' candy-a$$.  Xmas all year 'roud...

Seriously P-Man, as always, I appreciate your comments.  If it wasn't for you I'd not have a turbo in my car, so keep spouting the 411.

Thanks,
Gary Lewis

Yep, thermocouples are included and their customer service is really good.

As for the looks, it's a gauge, not arm candy.  Must be a California thing.  =P
