PLX or AEM Gauges

i'm on the fence on what gauges to go with, my performance shop is an AEM dealer but i dunno what kinda deal i can get, but here are some questions regarding both the AEM and PLX devices gauges.
AEM vs PLX Devices Mutli Gauge
1. Which gauge is going to be easier to install
2. Which would yield more accurate readings
3. Whats involves in both installations of either Gauge.

Thanks in advanced!
P.S
They also have some type of OBDII device that you can plug in, and supposedly add devices to your gauges through OBDII using their sensors i'd like some feedback if anyone knows anything about this, otherwise im calling PLX in the morning for some details

Im ordering the PLX gauge, plugs right into the OBD2. I'm also just getting a boost gauge from Autometer (cobalt series). Here's a video of everything that the PLX gauge has to offer:

I'm sure they are both great products. I have the digital AEM. It is simple and does what I want it to do. They give you plenty of lead to get to an 02 bung, but a considerably short on the wiring if you go all the way to the fuse box for power. Might be overkill, but I wanted it to go to an easy to get to fused source. Install was less than an hour.


I'm also running the Autometer boost as the gentleman above is considering. Not sure in the point of it, but the pod comes with 2 holes. No, I did not go with Fesler. I refuse to get shafted in the rear end on price.

That's a little harsh. Not sure what that's about but I guess we can please everyone.

The Aeroforce gauges are top notch, they have the ability to monitor pretty much any parameter you want. If you have any specific questions just let me know.
