Water Temp gauge question

[Wills7MGTE]

Ok I have a 3 pillar pod and need one more gauge, I have boost and A/F and I wanted to get an aftermarket water temp gauge since the stock one is well, SHITTY.

Can you run an aftermarket gauge off of the stock temp sensor? if so where is it? and is there any kind of difficulty in doing it or is it simply plug and play? Any answers would be appriciated, thanks guys

Unfortunately you cannot run an aftermarket water temp gauge off the stock sensor. However, most electrical gauges ( i know the autometer does) will come with a sensor to replace your stock sensor with. It will also come with a few adapters for different thread sizes. The stock temp sensor is located on the thermostat housing in the middle i believe.

it's on the part on the head (not the part you take off to change the t-stat)

it's behind the bracket for the PS res.
