wtf are u talking about?
i know at least 10 people running zeitronix in their cars, noone has ever had problems.
there are hundreds of people on this forums alone.

every post i've read about ZT not working was from user error or improper install.

Doesn't change the fact that you can still only monitor one thing at a time, if you have multiple on one gauge. Its good for logging, but not instant data monitoring while doing a pull.

And I'm glad it works for you, and 10 others on this site, but that doesn't change the fact that it was garbage for me. Hopefully they got their stuff working better since last time I used it. Mine did not malfunction from user error

if u dont really care about accuracy, then be my friend.
digital will always be more accurate than analog.

my defi was 1 psi off........and defi is supposedly the king of analog gauges

I've never blown up a car, and I've been down the track hundreds and hundreds of times, tuning my own stuff, so analog seems to be working decent enough

ooh ooh and did i mention that u can run more than one gauge? displaying all the fnkin values u want....AND u can change it around any way u want...

anyway, i've tried MANY different gauges. Zeitronix is simply the easiest, most accurate, and most reliable gauge in MY experience

Fair enough I seem to do alright though, hehe. Gauges are more for monitoring the health of the car vs. tuning, so analog still works alright.

pricing everything out, analog ELECTIC gauges vs. digital Zeitronix........it came out about the same. PLUS u get logging capabilities with zeitronix. and u can log EVERYTHING: boost, lambda. EGT, and AFR.
