We use an AIM Solo DL.

Yes, the data is through the CANBUS, but it is also a full datalogger that will not only display what you want, but also log it so you can review later if something is off.

I will take a look at this option

Mike for example what would be your list of top four things to monitor? would love to here your input.

Thanks again

I know you asked Mike, and he has x1000 more experience and insights than I do, but the essentials are: A/F, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp

Fourth, if wanted, would best go to air (IC) temp, boost, fuel pressure (fuel is a known weak link on our FA)

Thanks man i was always going with your top 3 as well and most likely boost but do you think fuel pressure would be better to monitor than boost?

Typically we watch ECT, EOT, IAT, and Cat temp (EGT).

Boost is moot with a SC; you'll know if you're down and boost, and you can't overboost. Oil pressure requires an external sensor and gauge.

We don't watch Lambda; you should know if your car is running rich or lean by a change in power delivery (like boost), and also be able to gauge via external methods (soot on exhaust, etc.). IMO, AFR is only something you watch if you don't have confidence in your tune.
