P3 Gauge w OBD2?

PhillyfaanM3 · 05-20-2016, 06:30 AM

So...I've decided to go with the P3 gauge to better understand how the car is performing. I like that I don't loose a vent and get boost pressure, oil temp, 0-60 and 1/4 mile times. I previously posted something in the electronic section but didn't receive much feedback. Is anyone currently running the P3 gauge, how do you like it. Any additional features you think are helpful in addition to the ones I listed above? I'm scheduled to take it to the dealer at 2:30 for them to install it. Will provide more data once I get to spend some time with it.
Thanks

I have the P3 gauge and absolutely love it.

It is so easy to install. You do not need the dealer! You literally pop off the side panel, pop off the old vent, install new vent and plug it in OBD2 port!

Boost, coolant temp, intake air temp, exhaust gas temp, 0-100 time, throttle %, code clearing, etc..

Only reason i dont use it anymore is that it does not work together with JB4 on the car, as far as i know. Since P3 reads live OBD2 numbers, and JB4 is actively trying to boost the car and playing with figures, it causes issues

I have my gauge for sale because of this.

There's nothing to understand. You already have an oil temp gage and if the car isn't boosting properly you'll know. As far as 0-60 and 1/4 mile times you can measure those a few different ways including a ton of smartphone apps.
