P3 Gauge

[LunchboxVRS]

Im have spoke to P3 a dozon times and they always come back with "where going to Europe next month and will look at the polo there"
Been getting the same response all year. Still nothing out.

I've personally seen two Polos where the owners mounted the P3 screen in the vent. It's just held in with an aluminium mounting bracket.

I think he was referring to a few that had bought the ultra gauge and found it wouldn't display boost

It does look a bit crap too

I have mine to display the following:
Boost
Coolant temp
Intake temp
Cat temp
Output torque
Actual RPM
Oxygen sensor voltage
Timing advance (intake)

Any chance you have photos of your set up gavs?

Boost on our R showed as 39 psi with the ultragauge

analog sensor with P3 was on the money.

I just dont trust the UG (and it looks ****e)

Umm I don't doubt what you saw but I read in the manual somwhere that it only displays boost at +/- 13 PSI (or somthing like that so I'm not sure how you got 39. Sure it wasn't displaying boost in KPA?

Also as I have said it reads OBDII data so its not like it makes the stuff up. It reads what the ECU puts out and from what a can see with VCDS using the OBD read mode - both data is the exact same.

There are 2 different boost settings, one which is higher than it actually is, the other which is the accurate one.

Irrespective of looks, I bought it for a function and for my purpose it works just fine, even though I am generally more style driven than many other people

Not sure if this has been covered before but for gauges I use the ELM 327 OBD-II reader (eBay $10-$20) and the Torque app on the Samsung S4 - looks good and response times are very acceptable. Very cheap but effective solution.

Has anyone got the fiscon basic-plus from kufatec? Says its compatable but would be hessatent to try it first. And I don't need the bluetooth.
It says its red screen only but shows a picture of it on white MDF.
