Cool new guage any help is welcome

Let me know what you guys think, seems like an all in 1 guage easy install. Still trying to figure out an exact cost just the unit or do I need to buy sensors for the OBC ? Also what parameters will it display for the Mini ? Please show pics of you guage's and approx cost and hassel of install.

This just plugs into the port in your car and displays these things..

Lots of the parameters listed are not really something you would look at, but some are. It certainly is better looking than a scanguage, and it clears and reads codes so it isn't a bad alternative it seems. More $$, but prettier.

I always figure the most useful gauges are oil temp and pressure and you need to add senders for them. Both scangauge and that things don't read them.

nice, i've been looking to get the SPA gauges myself. my buddy has them on his s2000, and they look really nice. i'd like to just have boost and oil pressure. i'll prob leave the rest of the readings to be read thru the garmin gps with ecoroute that i plan on buying.

I have the Edge CS, very sweet, sadly its boxy so integration is going to be difficult, but the OLED display rocks and I've never had it "wash out" in sunlight, and it auto adjusts for brightness. Right now I;m watching boost (actually MAP), coolant temp and intake temp.

Plugs in the ALDL and then suction cups to the windshield, 5 minute install. I am going to try to do something about the suction cup thing, however. The truck mounts have a pillar pod for the CS that I may try integrating to make it look more factory. Other than that, I love this thing and it clears and reads DTCs too.
Also does 0-60 and 1/4 mile and records peak values for all meterable readings. So far, adjusted highest speed traveled, 98 MPH. Any cops in the audience, dont read this post.

What about this cost seems low for electronic boost and oil pressure can order mounting cups for $10 ea that go next to the tach
