Ugly? Not worth the money?

I love it. What other gages do data logging and boost controlling? I think it looks cool too. It fits perfectly on the clip from proclipsusa.com and the indiglo looks cool, too. Granted, you are supposed to be able to control the emanage with it. I don't think all the bugs are worked out of that feature yet. But they will be and when they are, I'll get the new firmware. FOr now, being able to do the map tracing is also a nice feature.

Well you have two options:

I recommend riding in a boosted 8, then make your decision. Where are you located?

*I* never said not worth the money. I did say ugly. In my book it is. For me it looks tacky to have that thing stuck on the top of your dash... I like a nice clean OEM-like look. nice and stealthy

Mine isn't on the dash. here's a picture. only way to get more stealthy is to put it in the glove box!

I have mine in the glove compartment, as well as the turbo timer. They fit perfectly on the side of the latch in the center. Its stealth so you can't see it, but also easy to access if you need to up the boost for certain situations.

that sounds like a good place for it then. the harness it comes with fits great so it's pretty easy to set up?

Yeah, I just have the wires running through the back, then to their respective places. Its held down by really strong double sided tape, so its really secure.

You will not believe the difference in performance. The torque is amazing. I can break my tires loose from a roll now. :D
