I was unable to order a Carbtune directly through them, but found and ordered one from a vendor on eBay.  Looking forward to trying it out.

What problem were you having purchasing direct? Based on the recommendations from here I just purchased the Carbtune direct from EnglandNorthern Ireland, Belfast.  ;). Website very easy to navigate.

Fixed that.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

I knew it came from some island out there in the ocean where they all talked funny!  ;D

Get the dial gauges.
They work very well and then you do not have hoses ,fluids, bubbles, fluid sucked into the engine, all those hoses in your tool box., calibration of the fluid etc.,.

Just nice gauges  that work.

Calibration of the fluid! Ha!

I'm a fluid guy. Guaranteed to be calibrated to each other. But I'm a cheapskate.

Are there gauges that still use fluid? If so which fluid.

Fluid filled gauges needed calibrated back in the old days but then they invented gravity. It's been a lot easier since then.
