multiple sensors/readouts on one gauge?

[yudkib]

i know theres a few companies that make these, and so far ive had annoyances about both i can recall...
defi - you can use a display for the link unit, but you have to buy the gauges to get the sensors as far as i can tell
glowshift - only does boost, EGT and water temp

i know theres ones that will do whatever as long as you wire the sensors in, but i cant remember which for the life of me. anyone?

http://www.plxdevices.com/imfd.html dont know if thats what your looking for but these are some nice guages, oled gauges and they have multi sensors. 1 gauge can have 4 or 5 hook ups i think.. boost might be the only one that is seperate. comes with remote too lol

forget glowshift exists. terrible terrible product.

PLX is nice but the refresh rate leaves something to be desired once you load it up with various sensors.

SPA technique makes dual gauges that are very nice. the best quality you can get short of going to a complete dash system.

yeah i dont want to sink into glowshift territory for something like this. PLX stuff seemed pretty close to what i had in mind... reasonable prices and looked like a good setup. dont know if defi is cheaper though. any other companies?

ive got the rev2 app for my iphone and it does good. It doesnt give boost or wideband readings but I already have those gauges. Its kept me from needing a water temp gauge though and acts as a code scanner

so im looking for the following readouts...
EGT, water temp, oil pressure
in one 52mm housing. if i can get all of those off the OBDII bus, id be fine with just doing that. i didnt think EGT was on the OBDII. great, now i need to do more reading.

 

[low_psi]

EGT and oil pressure aren't available through our OBD

 

[yudkib]

didnt think so. guess an OBD reader wont do much for me unless i go with the OBD from PLX and get the other sensors.

by the way, is there any value in putting an air temp sensor on the cold pipe? i wouldnt mind learning more about intake temps as they relate to EGT when i go to tune. hopefully it would translate into some info on GT28RS vs GT25 at 12+ psi and whether a bigger turbo = lower intake temps = more psi, as is my current theory. would an air temp sensor hold up in a pressurized pipe?
