I watched the demonstration video.

Didn't like it at all. They have some cool features but I don't think they are going to be easy to watch.

I prefer analog gauges as well. And to piggyback on Supernaut's statement, I believe the PLX gauges are superior. They have a digital analog setting to manipulate the look which is very cool. PLX does however have a hefty price.

That is true. OBD1 cars have alot to buy but they do have alot of features and you can customize your background. I believe they have warning thresholds as well.

I was using these for a while:
http://prosportgauges.com/premium_se...ng_gauges.aspx

They have great features like the warning and hold, and they are easy to read. But they aren't exactly high quality. Mine quit after 6 months and that's usually the story I hear with any of these digital gauges. The analog ones don't seem to have that problem. Even Greddy and HKS gauges have quality problems. My HKS boost gauge is eternally fogged up and I have seen Greddy gauges do the whole jumping, flicker, sweeping thing just like my prosport gauges. I think in the end you just have to be prepared to send them back every 6 months to be warrantied.

There should be a signal converter to plug into the PFC Commander port that emulates signals for digital gauges... I would buy that

Can you daisy chain so you can have the commander availible with the gauges? I think the big advantage of the PLX gauges is that you can display 4 readings at once on each and they are readable instead of getting 8+ different gauges at once.

Sorry, I meant that I wish they made them... not that they DO make one
