oil leak fixed - breaking in new cylinders

When I installed my EI 14 channel EGT/CHT I used the two free channels
for OAT and carb temp. I have had it for four years and it has worked
perfectly. Kind of a gee whiz thing though. Since I fly out here in
the west carb ice is not a factor.

I don't think I have one - have an egt and a carb temp. I'll look again

when

I get in the plane, but I can't picture it.


I read my share of posts and this is the first time I've noticed someone
mentioning a carb temp gauge.

Is it a nice luxury, or not overly necessary?

Is it a standard piece of equipment on turbo's?

Are they ok in reliability (accuracy) and longevity?

Do people, without them, install them because carb temp gauges are on their
*someday* list?
