Its just the monitor right? Its cheaper than buying individual gauges...Im planning on buying a smarty but want gauges first. Would anybody recommend using this monitor for monitoring purposes? Thanks

 

i like the monitor gauges. i have sold several scout 2 set ups that works the smarty back down pod. they are for 06 and up though.

 

If memory serves me correctly, you can't monitor fuel pressure with the Insight. You can add on a Pyro though.

 

ya you have to buy the sending unit for the pyro... and im not happy to hear that it doesnt monitor fuel rail pres. anybody using one on a common rail? I like it better than regular gauges

 

I am running the CTS with a smarty. I have a pyro and turbo timer hooked up to it and it works pretty well. I am just not sure about trusting it completly as far as reading things like boost and rail pressure. But as for pyro and tranny temp and having an option to set alarms for these things it is nice.

 

what is a turbo timer? And why wouldnt you trust it? Thanks

 

I run the CTS. works great. Good fuel handling. The HOT setting is available and will dump the fuel!

 

you must mean edge juice w/attitude with the CTS monitor?? Im just talking about the cts monitor. Its only a reading device correct?

 

The CTS can be used for just gauges. That is how i am using it right now. A turbo timer just keeps your truck running until it reaches safe egt's. It does read rail pressure and boost it reads it through the OBD port instead of manually, and with all of the computer trickery that goes on with programmers i would feel more comfortable with analog gauges for those two. But if you aren't running any major mods I think you will be just fine.

 

Alright. I see what your saying. now i just need to make up my mind
