anyone seen these in person?
its an electronic boost gauge with a boost controller built in. you can adjust/control the boost on the gauge. can find it for 255-300. not bad for an electronic gauge and controller all in one.

thinking about getting it. reviews i have read have been good
-
i have the matching wideband afr and it kicks ass ... i would be willing to bet this kicks just as much ass....
-
i am thinking about going with the whole gauge set up as well...i like the look and features
-
im slowly switching mine all over.. but AEM is very pricey....ill prolly sell my 4 guages to fund the aem ones ...funny part is i still have a complete set of FAZE guages in the garage not being used...guess ill sell those too
-
the other ones are pricey, but i think that tru boost and O2 ones are very reasonable
-
hallman knock off boost controller 50.00 faze boost guage 50.00= 100.00 cheap!!
aem tru-boost 250-300.00 Pricey!!!
ive found both the PLX devices and the innovate
cheaper than the AEM uego .. i bought it due to accuracy and ease of setup.. even though i paid more....

theres mine, $10 or less, been using it for over 3 years
-
cant adjust that one on the fly or from inside the car..LOL
the AEM set-up can do both.... :D
-
Who says I couldnt run some vac line into the car and adjust inside?
-
long boost controller lines cause laggy response, resulting in massive overboost and inconsistent boost control.
Thats why they make electronic controllers, and they also make manual controllers with cables so you can adjust them in-cabin
-
yep rocket is dead on..and those that can adjust are pricey too for what the are...
sometimes you pay more for the ease....all in one and electronic set up..good up to 29PSI.
-
no doubt the AEM is the newest shit out...
my wideband is all integrated into the guage ...
all it has is the guage and wires to power and memory. and to the bosch o2 sensor...
all the wire connectors are tough and made to last awhile...
thououhly impressed!!!
the guage bezel unscrews off the face and everything can be removed even after the guage is mounted in a pod or panel
what impresses me most is the way you can turn it up or down... the same place your lookin for
the boost reading anyway....kinda cleans the dash up a bit
-
sorry, that was confusing.."what impresses me most about the truboost"
-
agree and the fact that it does all this....
No external interface required for programming!
Complete system includes harness, boost hose, on-board 29 psig pressure sensor (external 75 psia optional), boost solenoid, gauge display and all necessary fittings
Quick connect technology eases the installation process
Two user selectable boost settings with peak boost memory
Scramble boost setting allows user to momentarily change boost levels
User selectable Overboost alarm includes two timed shutdown levels at 10% and 20% Overboost
User configurable gauge includes 24 scalable LEDs, and interchangeable bezel, pin guide and faceplate to customize look of display
One (1) low-side output included for warning lights
i love the 2 user boost settings, and adjust on the fly. $250 for all this is a sweet deal IMO
