I have looked at most gauge vendors (Marshall, Autometer, Stewart Warner etc) and am still deciding.
Does anyone use or has looked at a "Innovate Motorsport" gauge system?
Their all in one kit looks interesting, but they are expensive at $329.
Is this over kill for the puropse of a Boost Gauge setup?

It's overkill and beautiful (but fully customizable)
I have the full kit with boost, exhaust gas temperature and air fuel ratio.
This requires LC-1, LMA-3 and three XD16 gauges.
I have also bought a LM-2 to be able to record the data (also from OBD port)
This is a trial run on video and I hope to make a full run on the Nurburgring this week to be able to compare data between laps.

that looks totally hot. does it include the carbon tach surround as well?

You might think it is pricewise but it is not included

Since the gauges are not carbon, I think his tach is a thrid-party or stock upgrade.
If I am correct, the kits come with silver or black rings and a selection of black or white face plates.
Dittio on the overkill, but looks great!
Since I am pretty much "Street" driving I am going with the group buy with the new Mini faced Marshall Boost gauges. I only wish they were stepper gauges. All said and done, the costs are closer than you think after all the mounting hardware and 02 sensor adapter.

The good news on the Innovate LC-1 is that it can replace your existing lambda sensor. No plug welding into your manifold.
You only need to fool the Mini ECU that the sensor heating is working by placing resistors or else the emission light will lit up and the ECU goes into open loop all the time. The analogue out of the LC-1 kit replaces the out signal of the original sensor and it's fully functional.
Both lambda sensors on the 1 gen. Min are the same. So if one of them is broken you can get the LC-1 and XD-16 instead and almost half of the kit is payed for by saving the cost of the factory sensors because thery are expensive. The plug of the broken sensor can be used to wire up the analogue resistors and signal from the LC-1.
