Absolutely the best gauge i have ever used, so so many functions.
Might cost a bit of money, but money very well spent.

Joystick is a bit small, but you do get used to it.
Digital speedo is a nice touch, tells you the peak of everything, 14.7 psi i boosted too, might be a touch high for a standard LC?
BHP read 183 which is so close
I can read my oil temp too.
Also the AFR
So so much more, but just buy one

Could have stayed out all night playing with it, but the Mrs would have killed me.

I was keen on this item but was told at night it reflects on the drivers side mirror making the view impeded.
good bit of kit.

I haven't noticed that tbh, the brightness can be altered if it is the case.

I'd say 14.7 was a bit high but I guess it could of hit that for a split second? Mine usually boosts to about 10-11 and holds 8-9

They do seem very usefull, can do TB reset to...and they look very smart

On my gauge I get 10 psi, it's just a peak figure so yeah quite possibly.
Yeah did a TB reset with it.

how much does the joystick move ? if it's minimal a longer overfitting would make movement easier

nothing huge just a thumb button flush height maybe

looks smart either way

You wouldn't want it over hanging the face of the mount any more.
It is easy to get used to though, a thumb button would be ideal.
