I use dash logic to display boost, etc. on the DIC and HUD display and avoid having gauges. The N-gauge is a cool option as well though that should do what you're looking for.

I had an Ngauge in a twin turbo 5th gen camaro. When I got my ZR1, it had a dash logic. I didn't like it . I sold it and put in an Ngauge because I don't want to have to cycle through things and chose the 6 most important things to me to display.

I wired the wideband and nitrous pressure into the Ngauge for two of my parameters.

Which model is that and have you had any issues with it reading incorrect? I have a dual gauge pillar pod id like to replace my old boost gauge with this.

I have an Aeroforce Interceptor in an SLP gauge pod that fits on the right side of the instrument cluster. It can read boost off of the map sensor or you can add a boost gauge option that Aeroforce also sells. I also added their wideband AFR sensor kit.

Works great and I can monitor several other parameters as well. I will post a few pics shortly.

You don't need the HUD display for Dashlogic. I do not have HUD. Info can be displayed from the DIC. I prefer no gauges and you can choose whichever info to be programmed in the DIC display, i.e. Various temps, Boost, KR, A/F using a wide band and tons more.
You can set alarms for different parameters, ie. KR, along with controlling your dual mode exhaust valve: open, oem or closed.

What it look like behind those gauges? are they hidden in there? my Innovate gauge has big cables on the back side.
could you take a picture from the windshield side of them for me.
Thanks

Innovate ECB-1... nope, it's great! The MAP sensor did die after 2 years and I replaced with a part from Innvovate for about $40. I made a pig tail closer to the sensor for changing them out in the future.

back side is closed, end user drills the back or the side of the pod to the required size of their wires/plugs that has to go through.

Yoooo!

I actually went with Aeroforced based on your posts. Love the look, options. I had shop install LS9 MAP sensor during install/tune, and the parameters in tune were adjusted to read properly. Unfortunately, my gauge sits around -21psi at idle and only up to 2psi under boost. Any insight on getting correct reading on gauge in PSI?

Are you sure that you are making more than 2psi of boost? What MAP sensor linear and offset parameters were used? For an LS9 MAP sensor the linear should be 312.5 kPa and offset should be -11.25 kPa. Boost=(MAP)-(BARO) so it could be an issue with the MAP sensor parameters if you are actually making more than 2 psi.

DarkC,

Thank you for reply. Yes, the car made 158 KPA on dyno run . Parameters in tune file were shared and are:
MAP Linear: 312.50kpa
MAP Offset: -11.25kpa

I'm not really sure why the gauge wouldn't be reading correctly then since it is pulling the info from your MAP sensor. Are there any settings within the gauge for boost settings, or can you just select to display boost or not and that's it? You're not trying to generate boost while sitting still, correct?
