Default EGT gauge........

Well, I just bought a greddy EGT gauge to replace the current one that i have, and I already had a VDO EGT gauge (IT sucked ass) well, the manifold runner is tapped for the probe for the VDO, wich i believe is 1/4 NPT, and the greddy probe is 1/8 NPT, any ideas of what i coul do to install it??
Could i just use the fitting from the VDO probe in the Greddy one?

Let me make sure Im reading correctly the new probe is smaller than your old one so if Im correct the new probe should have a fitting with a thread that needs to go in the old hole and the new probe taps into that. I bought an autometer and it came with fitings for that situation I can check to see if I have them still or I just threw them away.

cute monkey lol. saw it thought it was funny.
