Doesn't Home Depot or Wal-Mart or Harriet Carter or someone have little inside outside temp senders for about eight bucks?

 
Hi Jim,
 
No, I don't know exactly what pressure is across my radiator, or any of the actual temps in the cowl.  I'd love to test these things, but it's just going to have to wait until I get the EM-2.  At the moment, I have instruments velcroed, and taped all over the cockpit, and literally have no more room for anything else.  As much as I'd like to measure this stuff, it just isn't going to happen now. 
 
As for the exhaust wrap, I used some of the better stuff on the current turbo and exhaust pipe.  The wrap just disintegrated anywhere it touched the turbo, but it would probably have held up on the pipe itself.  There are some ceramic coatings that can be used, but hopefully, it won't come to that.  
 
Rusty
