Magnus,

Mojito is right!! That is a major problem all of us EVOX owners encounter is how rich these cars are, and the AFR's are around 9-ish. It would be good to examine how this AFR varies through the RPM range, and more importantly for those of us that will be have a tune, see the comparisons afterwards...

Yes it is, yes it does and yes it does.

And thanks for coming over "here" to contribute.

Here's the description of Blitz R-VIT DS in English:

I still think Magden is a better choise because they have more flexibility for adding additional sensors through Zeitronix and better logging abilites. I hope they add more functionalyty in the future software upgrades.

I have also looked into installing the Rvit-DS, but I was told by the Blitz dealer here that the R-vit DS can only read stock boost from the CAN/OBDII connection. If you run more boost, the read-out on the boost will be "garbage".
Can anyone confirm that?

Yes .. the person who told you this is garbage ..

The OBD MAP sensor reads to 1.5bar ..anything more is capped at 1.5bar .. so you won't know how high it is .. anything below that is useable ..

and NO the EVO X doesn't use wideband .. both the front and cat O2 are narrowbands ..

Huh? I thought the X came from the factory with 3 bar MAP sensor. Are there two MAP sensors on the X? One OBD, one MUT?

Let me rephrase .. OBD reads MAP to 1.5bar only ..
the sensor is 3bar because the speed density mapping reads to 2bar ..

AFAIK you can connect addtional sensors to R-Vit DS. They are listed in the Blitz catalogue (according to the local dealer) and MAP is one of them. There is also an A/F box that can be connected to Blitz.

I got my Magden M.1b. I haven't fully installed it yet, but I got all the sensors and Zt-2 installed and fully working. So, I'm ready to put in Magden now. Here are some pics with temporary setup and a video.

I bought the main unit from one of their resellers, but it's the same price.
I got the Zt-2 and additional sensors separately though.

Because you have to mount it on the dash and it doesn't look nice. My goal is to keep my dash clean and display everything on the display fo the HU.
