areoforce gauges
Thinking of putting in Areoforce gauges in my 02 Z06 that goes in the shop next week for install of headers/X pipe/maggie TVS2300. I guess I still will need to put sensors in for boost, fuel pressure and air/fuel ratio if I want to have them read out on my gauges? I take it these parameters are not monitored via OBD port? Though I find it hard to believe that fuel pressure at least, is not an input to OBD. Can anyone confirm that these parameters are not already an input to OBD? Thanks.

On the aeroforce scan gauge I had for another car, the boost did read out on the gauge.....but, the car was stock supercharged so the pcm was made to read boost.
fuel pressure? Nope. But I did install a fuel presure guage on the car and it was cake. Just hook up electric sender to the schrader valve on your fuel rail (test port).
Boost gauge is probably even easier

For the PCM to read positive pressure/boost you'll need to upgrade to a 2bar or 3bar MAP sensor. Then it will display through the OBDII port to the gauge. If you just want to know what your boost is you can add a second MAP sensor from Aeroforce so the gauge will just read the boost but the PCM won't. This should determined by your tuner and how he's tuning the car.
You will need a Fuel Pressure sending unit installed on the shrader valve of the fuel rail for the Aeroforce to read Fuel Pressure. Fuel Pressure is not monitored via the OBDII system.
You'll also have to add a wideband O2 sensor with an AUX output so that can be hooked up to the Aeroforce to monitor your A/F ratio. The factory O2 sensors are narrowband and only function to keep the fuel mix stoich (14.7) at idle and part throttle. The factory O2 should not be relied upon for WOT tuning.
