I have a narrow just for show.. But if I do this I'll get a wide.. The narrow is basically just a light show.. Not too accurate.. But the wide is pretty costly in comparison..

I thought you looked it up? You can have it measure nearly anything as long as you have the correct input.
RPM
MPH
Intake Air Temperature pre intercooler
Intake Air Temperature post Intercooler *
Mass Air Flow Sensor Frequency *
Mass Air Flow Sensor (lb/min.)
Engine Coolant Temperature
Injector Pulse Width
Long Term Fuel Trim
Short Term Fuel Trim
O2 Sensor Voltage
Manifold Pressure in PSI (Boost pressure)
Supercharger Inlet Pressure *
Ignition Advance
Knock Retard *
Engine Run Time
Battery Voltage
Throttle Position Percentage
Engine Load
Instantaneous fuel economy
Horsepower
Analog input #1
Analog input #2

So basically, instead of buying three different gauges then the one interceptor would be all i need? i know its expensive, but how much are all of these "inputs" your talking about?

The interceptor connects to your OBD II plug. It can display only two at a time. So you want a boost gauge, and afr at the minimum. You can have your interceptor do that by purchasing wideband sensor that has 0-5v output (like the Innovate LC-1) and a boost gauge. I'm not sure how you would get the Interceptor to read boost electronically, so maybe Hunter can answer that. EGT, get a egt sensor with 0-5v output. Those two can be your analog inputs. The rest of the inputs on this list a factory inputs.
Does that make sense?
Cost breakdown
3-pillar pod - $100~
Interceptor - $240~
Manual Boost Gauge - $80~
EGT sensor - $100~
Widebad O2 - $200~
Or you can get 3 analog gauges.
boost - 80
egt - 100
afr - 250
Does the same thing but not fancy.

i'm pretty sure you'll need a mechanical boost gauge since the stock ECU does not read boost by default.
also the interceptor is only going to display parameters that your ECU has sensors for + analog input(s)
I would just get a wideband and a boost gauge if it was me...you'll spend more getting an LC1 + interceptor than you will with something such as an AEM EUGO

Not just the gauges, but everything in general.. I'll have to show the info I printed out to my two friend who've gone turbo on their cars.. They can explain some of the details to me of what some of it is..
#163
the biggest pieces are supercharger, intake manifold, lsj throttle body, idler/tensior setup, intercooler pump, heat exchanger...everything else is little odds and ends.
besides its cheap...although you can always go turbo for double the price if you need a complete kit

well I found the map sensor, tensioner, and idler. Just couldn't find the pigtail.
***found on www.gmpartsdirect.com***
map sensor- 47 bucks
belt tensioner- 126 bucks
idler pulley- 40 bucks

not sure what it comes with yet, it's still "coming" according to dealer. I ordered last week. Its not a hassle if ya know what you're doing it's basic mechanical stuff, and then you need someone to tune or tune yourself.
