Another good reason to have an AFR guage .. .

Fuse holder for my inline 044.... MMM toasty.

Can't believe I did not have a fire. The only thing I think it could be was the hot pole of the fuse was grounded to the y pipe. The wiring work looks really nice, taped fully wrapped and soldered on all connections.

This happened quite a while ago by the looks of it, and the lack of smell.

Brockway and fire extinguisher here I come!

I noticed there's a .6 -.7 spread between the gauges? Is this consistant? Which one do you trust more if one is reading 11.7 and one is reading 12.4 under boost?

smdubovsky is infamous around these parts
For a WBO2, is there a way to display the AFM off the existing sensors? Do any of the gauges run off the OBD2 data?

I run innovate LC1s in my other cars, and it sorta seems a shame to replicate the sensor when they are already there.

The AEM reacts much faster than the Brockway and that's why it reads a bit different but under full boost they read the same.The AEM has a seperate sensor and the Brockway gets his information from the ECU and the AEM reacts for example 5 times a second and the Brockway 2 times a second.

I have the Brockway 1000 too, thats why I asked. Should I assume that the Brockway is a little slower? After all, it is plugged into the OBD2 port and the car is running off of that same info/data?

hum I have not ordered the Brockway yet is it accurate enough to be a "street safety" gauge? I won't be using it for tuning, more as a all is "well in the universe" check.

Thanks, Tom

Markski - is the LC-1 as accurate?
It would be easier to mount a round gauge instead of the Brockway, cause i have a Greddy in the dash already.

The Brockway is a little slower but he gets his data from the cars ecu so it will be fine.
