I just picked up one of these, as well as my UEGO coming monday, and AEM digital Oil Temp Gauge (All set up to Black faces/trim of Course)

Has anyone played with the TruBoost?... I love the idea of it all being consolidated into one assembly and keeps things clean, and since it matches everything going into the pillar, I couldn't resist...

Just wondering if anyone else has played with one yet?

 

Update... picked this baby up and have been running it well... I love how compact it is, and for a boost controller, you can't ask for too much more.

I'm waiting on My AEM oil temperature guage, as they just released them on the market, and then my a-pillar will all be matching gauges.... AEM UEGO, AEM TRU-BOOST, AEM Oil Temp... Beautiful....

Add that to my DEFI HUD, and my SAFC-II, for bling, I got a lot of info, and all neetly and uniformly installed!

 

is the aem tru-boost design very similar to the aem boost gauge ?

im planning to get it since its lcd/analog type

 

It looks identical to the UEGO, but with two buttons on the front for boost control/menu control.... I love that they all look the same... my oil temp will be identical as well...

 

Does it have High/Low boost settings?

 

It has two selectable boost settings, in addition to pretty much every other feature of other available boost controllers on the market... the selonoid is nice and small and I have it hidden behind the engine really effectively... the only thing that is a bit weird it that the MAP sensor is in the unit, so you have to run piping to it, which I'd rather leave in the engine bay...

here's more info as well

dannnng, i dint knew the map is built in too. i was hoping less clutter.

 

Probably get better resolution by having the pressure at the unit -Like a mechanical boost gauge. If you decide to sell the car it makes it easy to replace with a mechanical boost gauge so you can sell the boost controller as a stand-alone.

Does the MAP have output wires so you can run the emanage from it?

 

Is that gauge a boost and boost control gauge in one?

 

it sux

 

bump, why does it suck 318 tc? elaborate please!!!

 

you see, this is why the search function doesn't work. i had a question, i searched, found this thread which is pretty inconclusive, and nobody wants to comment on it. the search feature is useless!!! lol

 

bump

 

i dont like mine at all

 

thats not helping...i'm looking for some real pro's and cons here because i am considering it for use on my turbo set-up.

 

im selling mine, I just dont like the way the boost settings are and what not. I dont know, just wasnt a fan of it. Guess I rather have the basic needle gauge

 

okay, anybody else?
