Reading blower boost from MAP
I've got a '99 Corvette. Yes, I know. That's not a C6.
But it's powered by a heads/cam/blower LS3...
I'm wondering if there is a commercially available gizmo that will allow me to mount a boost gauge and read the boost from the MAP, via the dataport, rather than plumbing.
Anyone?

I think you'd have better luck on the c5 section then. Ls3 is largely irrelevant for this.
I'd see if this will work on a C5

You could simply add this to the multi gauge:

Thanks. It looks like I'm going with http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/ot2.php
since my iPhone is already on my dash.
Asking in the C5 second didn't help. People get tunnel vision. Like suggesting the Dashlogic product here, C5 people say 'you can't ready MAP from the LS1."

If you're ok using your phone then a cheapo elm327 interface off amazon and an app like dash command would work also and be cheaper. I'm not sure what differences there are though.
