I got the glowshift guages and pillar mount for around $150, fuel press, egt, and boost the 3 items recommeded to be monitored (these are 7 color guages seem to work fine). SC I have seen them for $150 at camping world, got mine through autozone for a little more.
The fuel pressure requires an adapter in the fuel filter to work, the boost requires a hole to be tapped in the intake manifold and the pyro needs a hole tapped in the exhaust manifold. None of the items are monitorable by the SC or most monitors without the same requirements. So you are looking at around maybe $400 for a guage, SG setup, depending if you can do the tapping yourself (would be less).

The SCII does monitor boost....Use X-Gauge codes:
To determine what value to input into the XXXX field you will need to follow 4 steps.
Step 1:* Input 0000 into the XXXX portion of the MTH field
Step 2:* View the value displayed by the BST gauge with the key on, but engine off
Step 3:* Find the value that matches your recorded value on the table below
Step 4:* Replace the last 4 0′s in the MTH with the XXXX value that corresponds to your key on / engine off reading
If you follow those steps correctly, then BST should read 0.0 with key on / engine off.* If it does, then your boost gauge is properly calibrated and reading correctly.
Note:* Changes in altitude can affect the accuracy of the boost reading slightly, so be sure to check the BST reading with key on / engine off every so often and recalibrate it as needed.

I think.....
It's more accurate to say you can "estimate" boost by using the
MAP reading - on vehicles w/o boost available via ODBII.
In my Ex, "boost" is NOT available (it's not on the dashboard either).
But, I have added "bst" to my SGII, by using the MAP PID and
appropriate mth values as you have described.
(thanks again by the way!)

XB70 you crack me up.... I have to say though that's where I bought mine, it wasn't as straight forward as you would think. I think they want you to work a little to get the savings... lol

ok i got the scangage and have been driving around to check things out it looks like im running at about 8* delta at 65 and 11*at 75 to 80 now thats using the speedo which is about 5 mph fast at those speeds according to my gps. tranny temps seem ok it stays around 160*. ficm voltages look good too. is an 8-11 degree delta ok or is this a warning that things are about to get worse? the temps for eot and ect havnt gone over 202* even with 100* ambient. im gonna switch out to ELC next oil change ive seen what the silicate coolants can do way to many times. anybody have any recomendations for other things i should monitor with my SGII?
