    Hello all!

    I plan on introducing myself at a later time but right now I'm rushed. I do have an SGII(3.15)and i'm wondering if there are any x-gauges to show inverter temp, and temperature of the MG's. If there isn't how are you all monitoring this, as I'm trying to figure out when I can go ahead and block the upper grill. Sorry to be so brief, just wanted to try and find out this info. Love the site!

    Thanks in advance~:)

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that doesn't know how to do this. Hopefully we'll get it figured out.

    Josh, I've kept the upper grill blocked all year. It's 75% blocked now because a couple pieces fell in. The bottom is blocked 80% through the 70's and sometimes with the temps in the 80's. Coolant temp goes to 193F & haven't heard the fan ever start up. BTW the Intrigue's collant temp with a solid nose is also 193.
