If you're referring to Mike's ACT (CAT ) guage, then he does a dual input version (i.e. measure two seperate temps), otherwise the std one is one gauge-one temp'

Cheers for that Bill, im aiming to stick one in the back of the chargeclooer and one on the front to keep an eye on whats coming from the intercooler so a dual gauge would be just the ticket !
Cheers
