Does that seem under priced when you consider what a TurboSmart E Boost 2 and Innovate A/F gauge costs? If it is really good that will save some good coin. Anyone running this gauge yet?

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.
