Plx dm-6 multi gauge touchscreen
Anyone have any thoughts/experience with it? I'm looking to add some monitoring of my recent supercharger install. Also has a monitoring capability with additional component.

I have one stuffed in the glovebox... it's a pretty nice little gauge, but it's so skinny I've heard it's hard to mount it in any kind of pod.
I just use dash logic so I don't really need it. I just use it to compare what DL is showing vs. the gauge every now and then to make sure everything is working OK

I used it in my 2010 camaro..made an AC pod. It's not bad...fast on AFR for sure....BUT not AEM fast. I used boost with it too...it was nice to be able to save a peak and look back at the graph on a pass even if it was tiny. I personally think money is better spent on an AEM fail safe.

You sure? The gauge says its 2 1/16" should fit any pod.. http://www.lmperformance.com/560219?...FQMSHwod3EsAhQ

Ok i know what you mean now... Yea prob just throw something behind it to hold it up.. Or double side tape the ring exterior with 3m.

Got this gauge and all i have to say is its the sickest gauge ive bought and functions exactly as i need it to. Fits perfect in my pod with minor dremeling of course but nothing is usually perfectly in the pod that ive seen anyway and ive had the most expensive defi gauges before so thats my comparison. I prefer this 1 gauge instead of a triple pod any day!

i run the plx gauges in my c5, the only downfall of them is the size of the control boxes. i have there obd II reader gauge and 1 multi gauge hooked up to boost, fp, afr, its a cluster f**k of wiring and a pain in the *** to find a spot to fit all of the control boxes... they fill my glove box.

Just personal preference I would say. I prefer to tie into the dashlogic. Not only do you cut out the clutter of extra gauges but as Unreal mentioned, you can also add warnings for rich or lean A/F ratio and low fuel pressure. That would be the way to go especially since you have dashlogic already. Jmo.

A cheapo laptop from Craigslist will work fine for both. It doesn't take a lot. Someone was selling one here for $100 or $150 I think it was a while back.

Also, you don't have to have a laptop for dash logic. You can bring the module inside and program it with any computer.

If you can post on here, you can setup a dashlogic.
I got a spare tuner laptop I should sell since I just got a bling bling new one.
