Anybody with an SCT tuner can get the software from SCT to show the same thing on a lap-top, ipad, and IIRC even your cell phone now.
If you're wanting to just keep an eye on the 'normal' functions(EGT, boost, oil press/temp, coolant temp, eng/trans temp-more accurately than the OE guages), there's a boat load of gauges or even screen-type displays from the likes of Bully-Dog, Banks, SCT, Edge, Diablo Sport(IIRC) etc. A lot of these even record acceleration G's, and 0-60(or more) and 1/4-mile times.
The modern ECU monitors damn-near EVERYTHING now days... engine temp, boost, spark adv, intake temp, oil press..
I downloaded the data-logging software from SCT to data-log my Boss 302 for a tuner, and you'd me amazed at the finite powertrain data your ECU keeps track of. All that's needed to tap into it is an OBD(2) connection.

uh huh... I have the SCT software and am well aware of it's capabilities.

However...
I like to use my cell phone as a phone and my laptop as a computer.

I like to use a gauge... as a gauge.

Now take your "I can do all of that with this instead" comments and GTFO. Thanks.

I've had a scangaugeII on mine since new in early 2011 and it does everything on the non-beta list. However, I sure would like to have the xgauge codes for the knock retard and post-IC air temp, though. I haven't seen anything widely available that does those yet.

Very nice and stealth. I really like a stock dash if done right.. ours are close but nothing like having 9 accurate pid's on one screen at the same time. Not to mention data logging capabilities. Fabbed my own barbed mount using stolen parts from the sct live wire suction mount.
You're setup will never be stolen.Mine will be gone with the first poor choice of parking spot.

Slow. - Thanks to Todd @ Aeroforce for developing this gauge for my truck, testing to follow...
No dis', however, the AeroForce guage has been around for SEVERAL years (have had one since they 1st came-out - 2007) and (while I don't know him), I HIGHLY doubt that "Todd" developed the guage.

For more betterer guage visibility you may (?) want to consider an AutoMeter guage angle ring ... 2nd AeroForce guage installed last year ...

Do you guys feel that the gauge overcomes the use of your vent airflow? On a relavent tract....what is the fueling system doing under full load/boost (tuned) in terms of capacity?
