Damn. Is it going to be worthwhile to wait on re-installing my gauge from VEI?

Rick make sure the boost tap in pipe is A++ so it will take the heat and time.

You still going to use VEI? Maybe previous buyers can keep the gauge and replace the rest of the contraption with the new design? I put mine in and expect it to stay in for life. No removal for dealership visits either. The one you had was pretty good except for the dimmer feature being a PITA.

not everyone will want to replace their current gauge... pretty good was good enough for a lot of people... but If I don't improve on my products... someone else willl It uses custom VEI circuitry and firmware. I am almost 4 months into the development of it. Here's a hint... its not round, its plug and play with a pre-built harness, and the dimmer feature is no longer a PITA.

I have an idea on what he's making, but I'll withhold my guess until he releases the new one.
