  1. NO worries about the boost pic, I'll get the idea from the vac pic or a peak recall pic. I'm waiting for a bunch of assembled VBG1s to come into stock...I can get you one of those in a few weeks, this sounds like a warranty issue with the screens. Both screens? or just the right one? We'll get this figured out, sorry about the inconvenience.
  2. Scooby2.5 - snap a picture of it if you can. Does it do it all the time? or just sometimes?
  3. Ah - so sorry - been crazy busy lately, I built one up and have it in stock now. I will be making more in the future as well. Correct it does not show any peak for AFR - I have made a note to my self to add as a possible feature in the next rev. thefultonhow is correct is does cycle profiles for oil pressure.
  4. If you have version 1.05 and up the 2nd channel input is already supported in hardware - not Yet in sw. Notice the 2nd input on the aux harness. http://gtboostgauge.com/shop/images/Aux%20Harn.png
  5. Thanks for the feedback and summary. Saves me a lot of "search this thread" - I will try to work these in. Don't be too jealous of the new sending unit - it's a new physical format but the guts are all the same.
  6. Regarding software updates - I while back I was planning on posting a new update to the website...Looks like I never did. Sorry about that. I will try to get this up this week. Scooby2.5 - was there a feature you were specifically interested in? Here is the Version info for the latest version shipping 1.08: // Version information // Version 1.0b8 // - Brightness levels set by ambient light only - removed Parking light input // - Support added for new oled hardware (CFAL12832E-W-B1) // - New hardware Identification hardwareType = 0 is new hardware PORTD PIN_0 // - No longer does all leds light up when you modify the opening text // // // - 0x62 //EE PROM STATUS // Version 1.05b7 // - Voltage averaging and display cleaned up // - Removed boost markers // - Allowing more characters for custom startup // - Default Startup message changed // - No longer supports temperature probe // - 0x62 //EE PROM STATUS // - Boost averaging adjusted (less averaging at med / high) The updates are pretty minor but the software strategy has to been eliminate features that have little interest or value and add new ones. In version 1.09 I hope to add additional sensor support, so you can run dual sensors at the same time- People seem to want AFR and oil pressure the most. Some hate to choose and I understand. The hardware supports two channels. Let me check the build stock and get back to you.
  7. Drogos, what do you have the boost filter set to? (menu option 1) In the past there has been a lot of discussion about transient boost spikes and VBG1 sampling methods producing higher readings. We added boost filtering into the unit as an option to knock some of those transients down. So if your boost filtering is set higher it will reduce the peak values reported. If you desire a reading as close to "real" pressure as you can get - I recommend the setting of "Low" boost filter. A bunch of the AU guys were looking into this at one point: http://forum.liberty.asn.au/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=20436&start=60 They concluded that the VBG1 was more accurate on transients then their other form of measurement. The ECU and the VBG1 are inherently sampling on different clocks and at different rates. So depending on how the sampling points line up how fast the log actually reports boost, its entirely likely the whole difference is just sampling related. http://www.ni.com/cms/images/devzone/tut/sampleclk.JPG That's correct - The old units had no boost filtering so peak transient values were latched as peaks and displayed after a pull, sometime up to 1-2 higher than logs were seeing. Not likely - The start up procedure is pretty straight forward. The VGB1 takes somthing like 64 samples of the the boost line pressure (assumed to be ATM pressure) then averages the value and stores that as the baseline ATM value to calculate boost psi and vac. If you are using the approved fuse location you should be all set. People who have used the wrong location (improper power sequencing) saw wild results, if I remember correctly they were seeing almost no vac and higher boost by a +8 PSI. All that being said if you think your unit is acting funny you can always PM me or email me and I can take a look at it. I know people depend on their gauges reading accurately so I take the concerns seriously.
  8. Hmm the vent for this car looks like a 4th gen from the google images...if so it will fit. We have a RHD option for those on the other side of the pond: http://gtboostgauge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=24 Yes there is: http://gtboostgauge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=33 I haven't sold many of the 5th generation so I can send you a 50 dollar off coupon since it's still listed as beta on the website. Send in your original unit and get a coupon for 100 dollars off a new VBG1.
  9. Sorry been crazy busy lately...missed a few comments This may depend more on the input source. For instance the LC-1 will go to 22.39 so in theory we can make the top end a little higher. Is this something others would like to see? I think I know what you talking about...I have seen a few cases of this over the years. It's unclear to me why this happens. It has to do with an internal de-lamination of the graphic overlay color stack up. PM me and we can discuss options. I can ship you a new overlay for free if you can capture a pic of it.
  10. Gauges should start to trickle into 'in stock' status late today.
  11. Good news! VBG1 will be back in stock soon. Slightly different hardware build was forced due to the production cut-off of the existing oled type. The new one looks very similar with a less of a gloss finish on the OLED itself, more of a matte Finnish. Very subtle differences, the new hardware performs identically to the existing hardware in both fit and function. The new hw changes force the software to be bumped to 1.05b8 rev. It will be soon available on the website and will work with all 1.05bX gauges. I few improvements and modifications have been made, these will be outlined when finalized. VBG1 should be back in stock next week. Happy Thanksgiving all.
  12. The assembly house is waiting for the OLED supplier to re-stock. It will most likely be about 3-4 weeks. Hopefully in stock before the new year. I will update when info is available.
  13. Shoot - So sorry to hear this - sounds like the gauge is starved for voltage. Do the Leds make a full sweep at all? (like a dimly lit sweep?) Check your power connections. If this doesn't work... you may need to send it back and I will replace it for you. Let me know how you make out.
