The RPD makes driving LESS distracting. The digital speedo is accurate and more efficient than the speedo needle. It's all positives having an RPD.

Does the RPD tell you your A/F Ratio? I'd be jelly of that. I'm only on the stock turbo so it isn't a big deal, but it would be nice to know- being tuned and all.

I don't think the RPD is distracting.

Wish I had a couple interceptors, but they are so damn expensive.

I'm debating whether I should get dual interceptors to go with my RPD or just get one.

I'm thinking of adding a boost gauge and one interceptor to complement the rpd. If I need more data Ill just use Torque and my S4

You should add a laptop mount and a headrest display to so each sensor can have its own screen. Mount the laptop next to your nawz switch yo.

Only thing I dislike about the RPD is how it auto dims.

I'm either going with the RPD, interceptor, and boost gauge on the pillar and nothing on the cluster

Or

RPD, dual interceptors on the pillar and boost gauge on the cluster
