better off with a full rolling road session rather than a gauge that unless you really know what your doing wont help!

If you fit a pre turbine probe you will be seeing what temperature the gasses are when they leave the engine and hit your turbo
If you drive by it it will show you when you need to lift off the throttle and prevent an over fuel melt down
But this is only one of several critical areas
A proper ETDI install will make continual adjustments to all these areas for you as you drive while you sort out the iPod.

Electronic TDI rather than mechanical
