Default Upper Radiator hose

Hey guys,

I am looking to add a Temp gauge in my car so I've been shopping around. I know I would need a adaptor for the sensor for the upper radiator hose. I bought the greddy one but I dont really like the design. and also that it just taps into it with clamps. I rather replace the whole hose.

I came across this:http://www.overboost.com/obs/hin/pro...id=&sc _name=

I looked it up on many diff sites but overboost was the cheapest I found. Its even cheaper then Ebay. Some site says that its for xa/xb but this one says its for the xA. But the part # for the xB is the same. Can someone confirm that the xa and xb radiator house (upper) is the same. If so i'm going to order this instead of using the Greddy one that I have.

Thanks
Regards,
Kenny

Wouldn't it just be easier to find an unused port in the cooling system to screw in the temp gauge sending unit.
You could always have a pice made that would splice into the upper hose. A piece of brass tubing with the right size bung soldered into it for the sensor to thread into. Then cut the hose and add a couple clamps.
