It about time! I've been looking for something like that for the last few years. Big Grin

If its within a reasonable price range I'm definitely getting one of them.

781328-0001 Speed Sensor Kit GG Only $499.99MSRP $349.99
781328-0002 Speed Sensor W/O Gauge GG Only $419.99MSRP $293.99

VERY tempting, that is a reasonable price...I'm really fighting the urge to impulse buy it right now...there is just so many things I want/need that are far more practical/useful than a turbo RPM gauge.

The least of my problems would be that I'd have to reinstall my old K26 until I get the compressor housing machined for the sensor. Dangit, maybe I'd better just wait until I find a GT2359 and install it on that. :cry:

Unfortunately not reasonable enough for me... that doesn't mean I don't want one badly enough to do something stupid though.. lol. That reading combined with boost pressure, possibly inlet vacuum, and EGTs would give amazing insight as to what the turbo is actually doing and a much finer method of tuning it to the maximum possible (safe) output.
