Yeah...those things are pretty neat, and for $260 they really aren't that expensive. But for now with the 12V I want as few wires as possible, and that seems to be pretty wirey.

I think that thats the price for 1 gauge, unless I didnt look at it hard enough, maybe you already knew that it was for 1.

Wouldn't give you a plug nickel for 'em. I'll take an analog gauge over those any day.

Whoa!

Those might just be my new gauge!

Yep, unless I read that wrong, I can have all the functions including warning limits display on 1 gauge!

Need to read up on these puppies a bit more, thanks Hohn!

They said you could run up to 32 sensor with one module...to me that means I module, and all you need is the pyro, boost sending unit, trans temp sensor...so o, and 1 module...if thats the case it sounds like a good deal to me!

They look cool, but if I need a "State Diagram" to program my gauges, I want nothing to do with them

There is a reason I am a hardware designer, I hate (and have an inherent distrust of) software. We may live in a "digital" world, but everything is really analog

They look cool and all but seems to be a little to complicated for me.

From what I can tell...

You have to purchase a "module" for each aspect that you want to monitor.

It looks like they daisy chain together.

The one you see on the front page is just a logger.

Main unit with 1 gauge: - $259.00
+
Pryo - $129 I think
+
Boost - $100
+
Tranny Temp - $80
===============
Lots.

True, you buy a new module for different types of functions, but the display is available all on one gauge.

I am kinda disappointed they only go to 30 PSI boost, but I'm sure they will add as necessary.

Still, you can monitor and set warning limits........... Need to research this some more.

That might be a cheap way to get into a data logger if you don't already have gauges too!

I'm wanting to get an IAT guage that's rapid responding, and right now I'm considering a big-dollar SPA guage.

Compared to some of the SPA guages, these almost look cheap.
