Default ACT GAUGE

I HAVE AN S2 RST WHICH I AM PREPARING FOR TRACK DAYS AND AM INTERESTED IN FITTING A ACT GUAGE TO THE CAR.

CAN ANYONE HELP WITH RECOMMENDING A GOOD MAKE AND SUPPLIER?

I HAVE READ ARTICLES SAYING THAT A STD INTERCOOLER GIVES AN APPROX READING OF OVER 70 DEG C WHEN DRIVEN HARD, WHICH IS ABOVE MOST GAUGES MAX LIMIT.

SO DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A GAUGE THAT READS HIGHER THAN 70 DEG C ?

UNTIL SUCH A TIME AS I CAN AFFORD A GRS ITEM !!!!!!!!
