I was surprised to see the price too. I might pick this up to install during the winter downtime.

This is very cool, but I have to say, I have had a bunch of issues with my MTX-L. And based on talking to other people with them, I'm not alone. I used to have one of Innovate's analog gauges and it was a trooper for years, but my current gauge hasn't made it 500 miles without issues. Not sure I would trust them with my boost control at this point.

What issues are/were you having with your MTX-L?

The gauge gets stuck at "Htr" indefinitely. I have tried recalibrating the sensor multiple times and it has not improved the situation. Innovate's support has been responsive, but not terribly helpful. The gauge/sensor only has about 500 miles on it.

Price of the double gauge pod? The top and bottom pod seems to be aligned differently or maybe it is just the angle?
Also how is the visibility of the double gauge pod installed?

Here is photos a fellow forum member sent me of his Premium dual gauge a-pillar pod installed.

This one looks a little "off" because he used the panoramic feature to capture the image.

This is from a test fitting before I sent it out to a forum member.

I'm also curious to know. I've been running an MTX-L that I've used to tune my car at 1.6 bar and have it wired into my ECU as well for closed loop operation and data-logging with no complaints so far (knock on wood haha)

Mine will bounce around, then gets stuck and displays E8! I haven't called Innovative yet. Not sure it will help! How do you reset it?

Thanks for the information guys. I will look for an alternative gauge to recommend.

To recalibrate it, you want to take the sensor out of the exhaust pipe to expose it to free air, then unplug the sensor at the harness (likely under the hood somewhere), then turn the car on and let the gauge run through it's cycle. It will give an E2 error (no sensor) and wipe the calibration. After that, reconnect the sensor harness (but leave the sensor in free air) and power the gauge. It will go through a new calibration. After that, reinstall the sensor and hope for the best!

Thanks for the info my friend!

Gale, please PM me about prices for a single and a double gauge.
Do you do different styles?

Thanks
