    The TRD supercharger is in and running top notch now that i have the correct X1 map installed - now i want to have minimal gauges to keep interior less cluttered. I have a scangauge II and monitor A/FR, Intake temp, water temp, and volts as my standard display. I'm definitely going to get a separate wideband and already have an AEM 0-15psi boost gauge ordered. I'm looking at the Aeroforce interceptor but having a hard time justifying to get rid of my $160 scangauge. With the interceptor i can have less gauges (can add 2 additional analog gauges for it to display) and it does what the scangauge can do and more.

    Or,

    I could keep the scangauge and get an aeroforce "analogic" gauge (w/ no obdII parameters) but can hook up 4 additional analog gauges and 2 EGT gauges. I would add the AF/R, oil pressure, fuel pressure, oil temp.

    The one parameter that the interceptor gauge has that stands out is the Tranny temp gauge (don't need separate sensor), however, if i am not towing and as a daily driver with the occasional hard boost/sprint how important is it to monitor tranny temp. This is my decision maker if anyone has some insight to the many options out there.
