will this guage read the boost pressure, I saw them on ebay and it seems like a pretty handy gadget for the money, are these worth having and also, what kind of mount did you get , the rear view mirror mount looks nice. thanks

It will display manifold pressure in PSIA. I was about to get one then I realized I'd go crazy trying to constantly subtract 14psi (or whatever the baro was for the area) from the displayed reading.

On edit: Boost was the only reason I didn't get it. Aside from the boost, I have never heard a bad thing about them and they are a very handy tool to keep an eye on the engine. I decided a laptop mount and EFI Live Scan Tool was a better route since I could do that for less $ than the ScanGaugeII.

Look into the Edge Insight or MSD Dashhawk II. I recommend the Edge unit even though they look the same. Better support from EDGE over MSD.

I don't think the edge insight works for 05 and down trucks. I could be wrong though...

I have one on my 2004.5 LLY Kodiak. Works great. Some of the data like torque and barometric pressure are not available. But trans temp and HP are. Mounted mine on top of steering column with Velcro.
