I find that I only really look at it if I suspec something is wrong or if the car does not feel as strong. I punch it... look at the peak function and see that everything is good. Other than that I never really intended on trying to watch it while I drive. EGTs also a nice thing to have for keeping a safe eye on everything. |

Well, the cheapest boost gauge is around 100 bucks for a decent mechanical one (ie. need to run a vac line all the way back to the cabin) so I guess that's up to you. For 170 bucks I wish that the casing was nicer and that it was dead on even in vac, but I guess you pay more for the size.

I think that a vac line would be thicker then that, and it would also have to have a set of wires (power, ground, illumination) coming out of it in addition to that anyway, but it only has one wire coming out of it.

Yeh, I always try to justify my spending. Figured, I could be one of those guys who buys hookers, but I get my sex for free. Therefore, I just saved money to use on mods.
That works right?

I put the brain in the ECU box and made all of the connections there so all I had to run through the firewall was the phone cable. |

I think that JP is talking about the Zeitronix unit that he has, not the dynotune one.

Yes, got red. Anything else would have been a tad rice. Unfortunately, I already mounted my stealth v1 in the ashtray. Ill see what the actual size is when I get it and see where it will fit.
