The AEM Failsafe is super easy to install and the logging feature is really nice when a problem comes up such as a bad fuel pump. I know this because it happened with me. At first he AF was ok and then slowly started going leaner and because I had proof of the problem Stillen replaced the faulty pump with no questions asked. The interface is a USB cable that I have coiled up in the glove box. It comes with a Bosch WB sensor and bung. When I had Fast Intentions make my CBE I had them install a WB bung for me. Worked out great. One other nice feature of the AEM gauge is that it is easily user programmed for what you want it to do. The failsafe feature lets you control whatever (from a beeper to a boost controller) with a programmable relay that you get to set the parameters to trigger it.

Now just to figure out if I'm going to make my own pod or go with Gale's. His is clearly OEM quality at a minimum, but need to figure out where my dollars are best being spent.

Do you have any pics of yours?

I was a little hesitant to post pics of my pillar pod because I am not 100% happy with it and plan to work it a little more in the future... but here ya go! =)

The pictures aren't the best but from what I can see so far that pod is looking great! Definitely want to see it when it's done.

I started thinking yesterday I might just recess the gauge into the center cubby and even leave the lid on for a bit of a stealth look. Easy enough to pop it open when I want to see it. And still leave room for my sunglasses, which is pretty much the only thing I ever put in there anyways. Plus the price on install is $0.00
