Where do you get a filter for drive pressure? I want something to help keep the soot out of gauges.
 
Well I have a sensor and looking at drive for my wastegate setup if I decide to put it back on.
 
Wonder if I just should build one out of a piece of pipe, two fittings, and some steel wool?

That is how I am doing mine. A buddy did his that way and it works good but you have to replace the steel wool every once in a while.

Chris at Enginered Diesel Told me about some they get at a painter supply shop.

Only thing I could see bad would be rusting. Guess I can hit the wool with some oil.
 
I've seen some steel wool filters used as exhaust filters. It goes beyond rust, the steel just sort of dissolves after a while... Exhaust gas is nasty.
 
Even though we use soot filters in our TIP Kits, they aren't necessary after the 304SS condensate coil has been through a few dozen thermal cycles.

We back flush the soot filters in the shop trucks a couple times a year, but don't bother using one on the drag truck - it clogs up within half a dozen passes, and the condensate coils do a better job of protecting the drive pressure gauge anyway.
