Re: Intercooler temp gauge
Summit has a few water temp gauges that might work for you,some range from 0-250F,40-150F,60-210F there were a few more.You would have to find out what range you run.Shouldn't be hard to find out.

Re: Intercooler temp gauge
If you are up for some fabrication, you can make a fitting pretty easily. All you need is a decent sized piece of hexagonal brass stock and two 3/4" barbed brass fittings. Through drill the hex stock and tap it on both ends for the 3/4" barbed fittings. Then drill and tap the center of the hex for an 1/8" NPT water temperature sender. I tried to do this many years ago but was unable to find the 3/4" brass barbed fittings that I needed. Ended up have two custom machined fittings to read the water temperature in and out from the intercooler. Got them about a week later with a $230 price tag for both of them. Of course a few weeks later, I found a place that had the fittings that I needed for less than $3 a piece. Makes me glad that I work in a machine shop now...
