AutoMeter Boost / Pyrometer Gauge

AutoMeter Boost & Pyrometer Gauges: Precision EGT Monitoring for Diesel and Forced Induction Engines

When it comes to protecting a turbocharged diesel or high-output forced induction engine, few instruments are as mission-critical as a quality pyrometer gauge. AutoMeter has built a deep lineup of boost and pyrometer gauges engineered specifically for drivers who demand accurate, real-time exhaust gas temperature (EGT) data — whether they're towing heavy loads, competing on the track, or pushing a street build to its limits.

Why EGT and Boost Monitoring Matter

Watching your precise exhaust temperature can mean the difference between maximum performance and catastrophic engine damage — and on high output diesel or forced induction applications, there are few gauges that are more critical. AutoMeter's boost and pyrometer gauges give drivers the visibility they need to stay inside safe operating thresholds, optimize tuning, and extract maximum performance without risking a blown engine.

AutoMeter's Technology Advantage

At the heart of AutoMeter's pyrometer lineup is their Digital Stepper Motor movement. AutoMeter's Digital Stepper Motor display, combined with high definition LED backlighting, makes viewing your exact exhaust temperature effortless. These race-proven digital stepper motor electric instruments provide unmatched accuracy, which is further increased by utilizing a self-calibration sequence during power up. Every kit ships complete with a Type K thermocouple, which assures maximum accuracy and minimum response time.

For drivers who need even more data from a single gauge, AutoMeter offers their Elite Digital two-channel pyrometer series. This combination EGT gauge allows two independent exhaust gas temperature readings within a single 2-1/16" gauge, featuring a bright LED seven-segment display and 30 radial LED indicators with the ability to toggle between individual channel views, a combined display, or a differential reading — ideal for comparing bank-to-bank readings or pre- and post-turbo temperatures.

Programmable alarms for each channel alert the driver to critical conditions by flashing the corresponding display portion, while Pro-Control outputs allow the gauge to activate other devices — such as lights, buzzers, pumps, fans, and switches — based on live readings.

A Series for Every Build

AutoMeter spans the full spectrum from race-focused to OEM-friendly aesthetics. Available product lines include the Sport-Comp, Cobalt, Phantom, Ultra-Lite, and SPEK-PRO, offering temperature ranges from 0–1,600°F up to 0–2,000°F to suit everything from a tow-tuned pickup to a purpose-built competition diesel. Factory-matched LED through-the-dial lighting provides clear visibility during nighttime use and matches OEM instrumentation on select truck-specific fitments. Each gauge kit includes 12- and 16-volt compatibility, making them compatible with nearly every street car or race car electrical system.

Available in both individual gauges and complete kits, each solution is built for durability, ease of installation, and consistent performance under heavy-duty conditions. For diesel truck owners who want everything in one box, AutoMeter also offers pillar-mount combo kits pairing a pyrometer and boost gauge together — a popular solution for Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke platforms.
