Does anyone know what happens if I use regular copper wires to
connect my EGT probe to the gauge. It is impossible to find the

You can use copper wire, but accuracy will suffer. The junction of
copper and thermocouple wire will add or subtract a little to the
indicated reading depending on the temperature of the new junctions. You
can minimize the error by keeping the junctions in a cool place and keep
them all together so they are all the same temp.
