You want the PLX DM-200 OBD gauge. It only needs to plug into the OBD port. You do not need the sensors. It will fit into the Alta gauge pod so you can mount it next to the Tach. PLX Devices has a refurbished one available for almost half price. Check their videos for installation and operation tips. Their software lets you install a MINI OEM custom look to it. You can use it as a single gauge or via the remote, look at 4 things at once, or scan around, make it appear like an analog gauge, or digital. I think it is the best thing around for the OEM look and you get double duty as a diagnostic tool since you can monitor so many things.

Hello everyone. I purchase a golink obdII cable for the Iphone from gopoint about a month ago ( http://gopointtech.com/ ). I think the software is easy to use, loads and refreshes well and charges the phone. However, I don't know what the heck I'm reading here. I just want to know how much boost I'm getting. My mechanical boost guage had my 07 mcs with mods reading at about 15psi peak, but then I had an issue with the car and it dropped to 6 psi. I have since taken it to the dealer. The car feels like it has some power back but I want to know what I am getting out of it. The pics below are screen shots from my iphone. There are no readouts that say anything about psi but about 30 others that say more info than I could possibly process. Could anyone direct me as to how I could figure out my boost with the golink?

The pictures below are from when the car was running poorly.
