To help understand the symbols

Engine Oil Temperature (EOT)
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Fuel Pressure (FP)
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT)
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT)

EOT/ECT will let you observe indirectly the condition of your oil cooler (you want these values to remain within 15 degrees of each other) at 10* i think your cooler are getting plugged
FP so you can protect your fuel injectors (stay between 45 and 70 psi)
EGT to stay below 1350 degrees F so you don't melt metal components you can go to 1500* for a very short time.
TFT so you don't overheat..185*- 200-220* max



The Edge Insight CTS a great tool, get the expandable probe so if you want to add more to it down the line plus you can run 8 things at one time.

Things you can add down the line like turbo timer & back up Monitor & fuel pressure

Lot of guys get the ScanGaugeII to me not as good as the Edge because you can not use the pyro a must if you pull
ScanGauge - Trip Computer + Digitial Gauges + ScanTools
Remember fuel pressure is just as important as any of the other gauges.
This is what i got for the fuel pressure gauge, it goes into the test port, this is a cool set up gets the sender away from the heat and viberation of the motor.

Do you know if the new Edge Insight CTS along with the old Edge will work together on a Y splitter to run both at the same time?? Thanks

i honestly do not know.... thats the first time i have been asked that lol... your best bet is to prob call up Edge Tech support and ask them....

OK Thanks, i will. The way i look at it with a 6.0 you can't have to many gauges the main reason because i use mine 95% of the time pulling my 14,000lb 5er just want to keep my good eye on things that count.

I love the edge insights. They look good and are the most bang for your buck. I have pillar gauges and a insight cs. I just bought a edge cts for the bigger screen. My edge cs will be for sale in the classified section this weekend. Pm me if your interested. It's almost a year old. I have the box and everything. Let me know

The cs or cts will do the rest just fine. I have the cts and have it set to watch ficm,eot,ect,fp,boost,tft,icp voltage,and egt. the other main value I would say to watch would be icp psi, but a tune will throw that value off.

OK i just called they that it wiil not work because it will slow thing down so bummer and my edge will not work in my 97 and i'm not going to give mine way so, make do with what i have for now.
