I'm running a g force 2 boost controller, and as well a dash logic for boost ect. To be displayed in my hud and dic in the dash, the boost controller I would highly recommend, and I would only recommend the dash logic unit if you didn't want to have your guages visible, it's a very neat system but seems to freeze up alot plus I would recommend a wideband 02, I run a PLX Wideband Air/Fuel Sensor Module in mine, good luck luck with your build and what are you goals on your build?

I would have AFR and Boost at a minimum. If you can add fuel pressure, that will be important also.

I use AEM Truboost and AEM wideband AFR

Ill be adding fuel pressure to my setup. But other than that, I like the way it is now. Too many gauges and then its too much to look at and pay attention to while your trying to keep the car straight from a dead stop to speed. I prefer to data log my critical details, review them once I have the chance and its safe to do so. The gauges are mainly just there for security.

I just ordered the Innovate SCG-1, its a WB and boost controller in one. The other two slots will have an oil pressure and temp gauge in (I have a G8 with the center stack triple cluster).

Is anyone here using an Innovate product?

I have the PLX dm-100 it shows air fuel and boost in the same gauge. Very slick setup. I would post pics but I don't have it in this car yet. I have had these in other cars and they work great. You can also run it as a scan gauge or monitor any ODBII info from your car. For turbo you will want a boost controller also. I will supercharged no boost controller needed.
