Their website doesn't list any contact info but I did look at the list of gauges offered. It appears to be all 75 that they claim and does not show the big three us diesel guys are interested in. (EGT's, trans temp, or boost) Unless anyone knows more about them I guess I'll be sticking with the insight.

correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt an EGT guage and a boost guage require a seperate sensor? I know they should all have a trans temp sensor, but the others I thought were all aftermarket stuff... so the insight might need an extra sensor to monitor that too... thanks for the info

You have to buy the sensor for EGT's ($100-$130) but boost along with everything else can be read from the OBD port.
Unfortunately the boost function may not be accurate. I guess aftermarket programming increases boost then hides it from the ecm to keep it from defueling. Since the insight reads directly from the ecm it only sees what the programming shows it. Since I'm not shooting for the stars power wise I'm not worried if the boost is off. I figure accurate or not I'll at least have a baseline to watch and if that changes I'll know something is up.

Cool thanks! and yeah I thought as much. I'm sure it couldn't hurt to get a proper guage eventually...

There are two EGT sensors from edge. One is expandable and allows additional sensors to be daisy chained to it. I'm not sure what all is available but it would be cool if they offered a boost sensor directly off the turbo.

![]() My issue is that with the TS chip it will only get 14psi of boost. Stock all the way to 140 setting. I am wondering if the chip modifies the boost signal to prevent overboost reading. But along with that the EGT's go WAY high even without towing. I borrowed a Banks Ottomind and show 20psi with no extreme EGT's. So is that due to a less agressive burn or the chip no good or something actually wrong and boost levels are really that low. Not sure how to know without installing a real gauge. But to answer your question, the features that the Insight has is amazing. I even have a picture of the kids as my background.
