Hi. About to install my Auber 2813 for EGT and Boost on my turbo diesel. 12v will be taken from fuse box but I have a doubt. I don't want the lights to be on unless the car is running. If I use a 12v signal from the fuse box that will only power the unit when the car is on; what will happen with the saved settings like boost "0" pressure and high EGT alarm? Thanks in advance.

When you power it off, all the settings will be saved. The settings will not be lost when you reboot the gauge.

When the gauge is connected to the power, its display will light up at least.

Thanks for the reply, Kkhane. In that setting you describe; is the power taken form an always live 12V or from a line to come live when the car is on?

The gauge should be connected to a line to come live when your car is ON.

Otherwise if you power up the gauge by a always live 12V, this gauge will slowly drain your battery.

Thanks! Got it all set. I just need to fix the boost reading as I have a 2 BAR MAP sensor from eBay and I'm still not able to set the "0" value to have the correct reading. EGT on Channel 1 is working perfect. Any piece of advise is welcome.

You can refer to the guide below to calculate the PuL and PuH for your pressure sender. Assuming your 2bar map sensor requires 5V DC power supply and linear DC output.

See page 2 for calculation example.

My 2 BAR sensor was not OK so I got a new 1 BAR sensor that actually works. Since 1 BAR is +/-14.5 PSI and I'm not planning to go over 14 PSI on my Boost; will this work? Calculus is not my thing so I'm going to need help from a friend or someone with the formula to get this setting done.

If your boost pressure is within one bar, you can use your 1 bar sensor. But for safety concern, it is recommended to use a pressure sender with slightly larger rating.

Will buy the Auber 303 and stop suffering. Thanks for your help Kkane!
