I believe V2 added some CAN monitoring features.

It's a huge difference. V1 is only showing boost while V2 shows all kinds of useful parameters, it can show error codes and has the ability to clear them.

I have the V1

Assuming you have a tune, the V2 becomes less useful for clearing/reading codes but is nice to give you the ability to see the other parameters that it monitors. Assuming you care mainly about boost/vac pressure, the V1 will work just fine for you.

Thanks Guys. I have a COBB AP for reading, clearing codes. Does the V1 show temperature and such as well?

Nope, it only reads boost/vacuum.
