I never have used a battery heater, instead I have used a trickle charger since when charging the molecules are bouncing around and keeps the water from freezing, plus keeps your battery happy/charged.

For me, with the potential to leave the cruiser sitting for a few weeks due to work a trickle charger is a must.
Here is what I use: 022-0158-1
Having it water proof was nice before I had a permanent roof over the cruisers head.

Next project is installing my boost adjuster from Turbosmart and a boost gauge and Pyro. But I am still undesided on what gauges to use. I have read up on what everyone else is using but I haven't seen any one using a combo of both boost and EGT in one gauge. I like the idea of keeping the dash as simple a possible so this idea is very appealing to me.
Iv been looking at the ISOPRO Turbocator 3" R609
Seems like you should be able to read it easily at 3" compared to the normal 2 1/6 size. Also pretty sure you can configure it to 24v.
Any thoughts?

This is a Westach gauge. But mucho dinero. I am saving up.

Nice to see another option, looks like the same layout, and range. I definitely look in to those also!
I have Westach dual gauges that I used on the 70 I had. I have a Westach dual egt/boost for the 75, needed to make room in the dash for one more gauge Will be this weeks project.

So there is one more for the Westach, I'll be looking forward to seeing your finished install!
These are the ones from the BJ-70
Oops, here is the picture
the right one is oil pressure/water temp

The Westach look nice but I think I like the layout of the ISSPRO a little better.
Just looks a bit easier to read the EGTs

That looks good, hadn't come across that one. Easier to read. I can't get too attached to the
cross over design of the others.

Will follow along to watch your install of the boost controller and gauges. I've got a 3" exhaust already installed, the gauges fit to the center pod, and was planning to purchase and install that same controller as soon as someone posted photos and a "how-to" on mud!!

I like this a lot but the boost range is a bit optomistic.
Is that a 2 1/8 gauge?
I have used Isspro gauges in the past and I have had performance issues with them in two different vehicles.
I've seen a couple of 3B's turbo'd that might use a lot of that gauge.

I will do my best to not lead you astray on my "how to"!

Pretty sure I will only use the first half of the boost gauge!
Total diameter is 3", so a bit large but I think it will be better then two separate ones.
I hope I have better luck with this one!
So far this is the best one I've found for what I'm looking for.

Where are you wanting to put the gauge?

Thinking to the right of the raised part of the dash next to the A pillar.

Pulled the trigger on the ISSPRO Turbocator. Pretty stoked to get this project going.

Got started on the Pyro/Boost gauge today. I got the gauge mounted and back light wired up, also ran the wires and tubing though the fire wall. Got the hole drilled in the manifold but ran out of time/got to damn cold to get the hole tapped and the probe installed.
I'd like to find/ or make a flush mount for the pod at some point, as it just came with one to mount on a roll bar or something similar, but I think it will do for now. I think this location will be great, easy to see but out of the main view of the road.
I promise the next post will have the gauge showing some numbers!
