Turbo XS gameboy gadget

Anybody got any comments on Turbo XS's gameboy Stand alone unit? for a turbo application? $500 worth it?

I have the DTEC-FC but I only use it for a gauge now, since I have HPtuners. It's pretty neat. I used it to offset the maf but you can't do to much with it.

For just a gauge system I don't think it's worth it, as a boost controller/WB02/EGT it's worth it. But it's a lot more than 500 bux when your done with WB 02 and EGT sensors. It's ideal for a turbo, less than ideal for a supercharged application.

Another note right now I have it hooked up to monitor:

RPM
Injectory Duty Cycle
MAP (load)
Knock

AFR (via a tunerlite with is another 400 bux)

It also comes with a shift/knock light which is nice.

I think I am going to do the Maximum boost kit minus turbo and fuel management, and in place of their turbo use a new t3 t4 50 trim and in place of their what ever fuel management they use, use the Turbo Xs unit. bump up the fuel delivery with some walbro goods.

You do realize that Frank @ Maximum Boost just buys all his parts off ebay, puts it in a box and ships it to you, right?

Why pay someone to be a middle man when you can do that yourself?

I run a Dtec/FCBC in my car and it's great. Simply awesome abilities to trim fuel and set specific boost in all 5 gears. Course i have a turbo...
