Today I repaced the sensor (--> ecu) in the thermostat housing and soldered on a new connector going to the ecu. The ecu sees reasonable values now. The gauge still runs to hot quickly though. Average temp according to dsmlink is ~217* or so. That is about normal for a 2g with a FMIC right? He has a 6 bolt if it matters. What should we believe as far as temp goes, the gauge or dsmlink?

Tried tuning the car and the bastard is missing. Have to do another boost leak test. While missing at 26psi, the car only gets 1.1 or so count of knock. Any ideas? Boost leak???
