Aftermarket watertemp

[Elmomafia]

Hey just bought some after-market boost and water temp gauges, Both are wired up electronically but the water temp one still needs its sender put in the right place kinda scared to just drill straight into a pipe can anyone link some pictures of were i should put it and how they did it???? just a little confused cause the sender is threaded do i need to thread the hole??

From what I understand, cut top radiator hose in half and fit this T fitting from Greedy / Trust -

They tell you what diameter you need under photo for stock radiator hose.

I think Autobahn88 sells something similar.

You can use the water temp sensor attachment as Skym posted (HKS also makes one), which requires you to cut the top rad hose in half, or you can also use the Blitz rad hose which has a thread port built in:

We sell the HKS and Blitz options if interested.

yo i forgot,

blitz makes a silicon upper rad hose that has the adaptor molded into it!~ its the same price as any other rad hose and will save you the trouble.

I think I might as well do a water temp gauge, too. It'll give me an excuse (finally) to do a proper coolant flush! Are autometer short sweep gauges fine? I can't justify 250 or 300 on a defi. I don't care about being mad jdm either, so ugly american gauges are a-ok for me!
