Yes. Two things keeping me off it. Price vs just an Oil temp gagues (150 vs 390) and the ring is only for the vent, so it would have no ring to hold it in place on my dash pod.

Just curious, but why wouldn't you want to use the OBDII reading? From what i've been reading is it seems to be on par, if not faster, than an analog reading. Just wondering what the reasoning would be for not using it.

i agree ... i kept my boost aem while i had the fa20 vent running and the boost is alot more accurate on their gauge then the AEM boost.. i only kept it because i was to lazy to take it out lol!

Sounds about right. Where is your AEM gauge?

The gauge get's its signal from the stock map sensor which only reads to 4.3 psi. It can be re-scaled to 7 psi but I think you would need tuning after you do that. On top of that, 7 psi is not enough, so I would have to get an alternative map sensor which would definitely require re-tuning.

You can purchase an upgraded 2.5, 3, or 4 bar MAP and have your tuner scale it to read higher.

I meant as in what location when it was installed. I was getting ideas about a potential gauge pod location. Do you run any other gauges or just the FA20 integration?

I see. I bought an upgraded 3 BAR MAP sensor, since like you mentioned 7 psi is not enough, so I'm good on that.
