S5 na coolant temperature sensor recommendations

Information Regurgitator
I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you wanting to add a gauge and sensor? If so here's what I posted in another thread.
I'm pretty sure the gauge comes with a sensor.
I've been using an Auto Meter Ultra lite electrical gauge. AutoMeter Ultra-Lite Analog Gauges - Water temperature Gauge Type - Free Shipping on Orders Over $109 at Summit Racing
To install it properly IMO the sensor needs to go in the water pump housing, under the thermostat. Drilling and tapping the housing is probably the hardest part and even that isn't too bad. Of course there are other brands and styles. a Summit search yields 712 results so you can find a brand/ style you like.Gauges: Speedometer, Tachometer, Oil Pressure Gauges & More | Summit Racing

if you're adding a sensor, there is an unused pad on the back of the NA manual trans water pump, the other models had a fan switch. you could drill and tap for whatever.
or you could go JDM and just add it in the upper hose. its 38mm, Greddy, HKS and SARD make these things. it does help if you use the same brand of gauge as the adaptor, Greddy and HKS used different senders

thank you! Yes I meant a temp sensor to use in the back of the water pump housing. I heard from people that certain sensors might be too big for the back and might interfere. Which is why i was asking for recommendations on successful installations. Thanks again!

Anyone use this max tow temp. I just dont like the green backlight.

Or I could go cheaper and get a equus. I was told they have a sealed wires instead of a mesh. Apparently it could mess with the temperature or not.
