Default Water temp gauge sensor in HEX?
So the HEX i have has a threaded port for a sensor, is it worth having a water temp gauge to monitor what the temp is flowing thru the HEX? This is the HEX I have

It is if you are curious about that sort of thing. Most guys dont care unless they just like tinkering with stuff or suspect a problem worth investigating vs just upgrading.

I have one installed on my Maggie setup. For me I use it as a reference to see how fast recovery time is for the cooling system.

I just watch my IATs on the Scangauge. That is a pretty good indicator.

Your dashboard will end up looking like this if you monitor enough things.
