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.

Yes you nailed that! I am running the Insight for gauges and that is the only downfall I have found. I do not trust the reading on boost. Have actually been considering getting a mechanical gauge for it.

. You idea would be an incredible addition to this neat piece of equipment.

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. Troublecode readings

, user setable alarms

, user setable maintenance reminders

, upgradeable to include backup camera and turbo timer

, realiable boost readings

, adjustable range on gauges

.

I hope that helps a little. Jason

OK I have one more issue with the Insight. I tested it with a pressure pump last night on the map sensor. The gauge will only show 22psi max, after that it goes to 0 and the truck has to be keyed off before it will reset. So if you are going to use a wastegate controller like I am planning, you are going to need another gauge. Other than that it is great.
