The only reason that I am looking for a digital display is because it would be nice to display 4 parameters at once and have the capability of reading codes too. But I am not really interested in buying one that has programs because my plans are to get a DP tuner and really am not interested in stacking. Anyhow, any advice would be appriciated. Thanks

By the way, I am looking for something that can read out the EGT's, Boost, and probably Trans temp too.
Try the following, get the dual gauge set up

Thanks for the tips guys. I have looked into the options you all have given me and I like them. I am definately leaning towards the Quad commander (mainly because of pricing) and plan on getting it as soon as the budget allows. (Raul I will keep you link handy). I take it that the quad doesnt read out codes? I looked at some different pages on it but none of them said anything about that. Just curious about that part. Even if it doesnt then that is fine.

The Scan gauge reads and clears codes, can do cylinder cont tests and injector buzz tests... Then you can add a second one if you want, as well as read ANYTHING the pcm is looking at.

I agree. these gauges are pretty sweet! and you know if CSI has one its good sheet!

I wish I knew about them before I got the evo. I like that it can read all the stuff my edge does and also it can read the HPOP and other goodies. I think you can add 2 external sensors on it. fuel pressure and egts would be my choice!

Just something to think about. With all n one unit when something goes wrong with one feature you have to go without all your gauges and posibbly tunes until it gets repaired or replaced. I much prefer analog gauges with a seperate programmer loaded with DP tunes. I have the X Cal 2 and I love it, although shift on the fly is not something I need. The analog gauges are also much faster to read which means eyes of the road less. If my trans temp gauge goes out I still have my other gauges and tunes to keep me running. I'm not saying the all n one units are bad, I am just giving you something to think about that maybe you haven't.
Good Luck
NCH
