Juice is in(pics and comparo to VA)
Got my EDGE Juice w/Attitude in yesturday. Was a pretty easy install. Especially compared to the keyless entry I installed yesturday as well.
Only drove it like 10 or 15 miles, but right off the bat, I can tell you I love it!
I mounted mine on top of the steering column right against the stock gauge cluster. Seems to work well. Very easy to read and you don't see the cord at all.
I was running the VanAaken. I set the Juice up without piercing the pump wire, as I have warranty till July. Rest assured, the wire will get pierced the day after the warranty is up. But it does come with a nice Posi Tap to tap the pump wire.
So, I have it on 1x5 right now. It has more low end then the VanAaken. I actually can get off the clutch faster without it jerking. And definitely has a lot more top end. The VanAaken really trailed off after 2300. The Juice seems to really fuel hard as I hit 3100 a lot easier. Seems like it wants to rev now. EGTs seem identical to the VanAaken.
All the features are awesome! Now I have the electric fuel pressure gauge. Which works great. 14 PSI at idle. The alerts are cool. The thing comes setup with a speed alert at 75 MPH(LMAO....). Going to have to bump that up to about 95 MPH. Its annoying when the alerts come on. Turbo timer is a nice feature.
The only thing I noticed is the boost gauge does not read correctly. Says I'm only running 25 PSI when my mechanical gauge says 30. I'm thinkin my MAP sensor might need to be replaced?
I'm glad to get rid of the analog gauges. I do not like how the pillar mount actually mounted. It squeaks and rattles occasionally. And I didn't like running the mechanical fuel pressure gauge. And I had a boost gauge go bad on me in a matter of 6 months.
Heres the pictures

Nice!
Where does it get the fuel pressure reading from? Does it seem harder to read the digital gauges? I am used to just looking at my analog gauges and knowing where the needle should be or not be almost involuntary.

It comes with a Banjo bolt to replace the schraeder valve.
However, I already had a little fuel injection tester hose, that I hooked onto the schraeder valve. The sender just has male 1/8" NPT threads. This way I can easily remove it if the dealer needs to check fuel pressure at the schraeder valve.
I don't think it is harder to read. I like them. The A2 would be really sweet, but I just can't see spending $1000 for it. Plus I don't need the GPS. If only they made it without the GPS.
