P3 gauge still worth it in 2023?
Been thinking about getting this gauge but not sure if it is still worth buying it for the price. I am currently using my tablet and a mhd dongle to see my boost readings but it just is not as clean as the p3 gauge.
Does anyone who has experience with the gauge think its worth the money or is the tablet and dongle combo better? Also I heard people complaining about the p3 gauge blocking the side view mirror at night? Is that true? Any help is appreciated I was looking at the awron gauge but unfortunately it's discontinued and I don't want to buy a gauge and have no warranty or support if it fails. |

I vote no, For the price you could put in an android head unit and run MHD logging on that for a clean look... I would splurge an extra hundred to get a good one but the cheaper ones are available in that $260 price target. -Rich

Do you know how to go about setting it up or is it different for each unit? |

I think the P3 gauge is sick. I plan to get one.
Sure you can get the same functionality for less but tablets and android head units cost money too. I think the implementation of the P3 is super slick and it's easy to read too. Get it! |

Just get MHD Wifi adapter and use your phone for Datalogging, you'll be able to log and see any parameter you want and it's a lot cheaper, plus you won't loose s vent.

At night time if you're just going to be paying attention to whether there is a reflection or not, there is one. It's never impeded my driving in the least though and I've always liked mine.
