FWIW, I installed the Pantera Electronics Temperature Gauge Compensator when I installed a 260-degree gauge in my Pantera. After installation, I periodically checked the coolant pressure tank temp until I was satisfied the gauge reading was accurate. I don't think Jon produces a compensator for the 230-degree gauge, though.
