Scan gauge II
I am considering getting the SGII as a supplemental gauge. Id like to hear some people's opinions on it and if they thought it is worth the money ($169)
Also where are people mounting them?
Thanks in advance!

People tend to like "real" gauges because they don't trust the ones the computer reads. I don't know, I like my Scangauge, but I also only paid $70 for mine used. I mount mine on the dash but I have a little slot above my radio because it's aftermarket. In my other cars I mounted it above the rearview mirror, on the steering column, along the bottom of the gauge cluster (blocking the PRND), etc.

I really like mine, it reads a lot of stuff that we cant get guages for, ie MAP, ICP,..mine is located on the left side of stearing wheel on dash, it also reads codes (dont really know how accurate)I havent had any codes with this or AE,,Its a neet little tool to have for 169.00

I spent time talking to Clay about the one he mentioned in his post. Seems like a great gauge for 270.00, especially for someone like me who is always getting into trouble but without a laptop or AE software. I am definitely putting one on my want(need) list.

Thanks for the replies guys. For 100 more I could have the one Terminator sells, But I was planning on running a 3 gauge pod with conventional gauges, not sure about a 4 gauge pod.

I have a 4 gauge pod from Clay but I went with conventional gauges in it. The scan gauge for me wouldn't be a primary gauge, just a knowledgable assistant to the other gauges for me.
I would also be adding this with something like the 650 dash or another gauge pod.
