Exhaust pressure sensor

I am looking to start logging my pre and post turbo exhaust pressure, and was wondering what others were/are using.

a preliminary google gave me this

Anything else that people can point me too or reccomend?

Thanks.

Have you considered Mazda 2-bar sensors and run a "thermal gap" between the bung and the sensor? A good length of metal pipe, then a "gap" of silicon tubing, then a standard Mazda 2-bar?

I was considering that, well not exactly that, but something basically the same. I just thought that someone might have something off the shelf that was designed to withstand/deal with the heat associated to take out the R&D (although admittedly very minimal) on my part.

Search the threads. It is proven to work already. Thermal gap addresses any heat concerns.

Agreed, some also use a oil pressure sensor as well.
