Ultragauge any Good ?
Re: Ultragauge any Good ?
I have one and have used it a couple of times, I find the screen too small for my old eyes.

The boost pressure an Ultragauge reads is a formulated equation off MAP readings. You would need a bung welded in to your manifolds and a separate sensor for accurate boost readings. That's the main reason I ponied up $220 for a Zeitronix Zt-2 with LCD display and paid a muffler shop $75 to weld a bung to my exhaust so I could install a wideband O2 sensor. Now I have live boost, AFR, and fuel pressure readings in plain sight. No more having to glance at a laptop sitting in the passenger seat! I also have the ability to read and clear CEL codes, but have to hook up my laptop to the hidden data cable.
All in all, the Ultragauge is a good tool for someone who doesn't mod heavily. If you track the car, go for something a little more involved (like my choice). Either way beats a computer riding shotgun.

LEGEND you are responding to a very old thread, but I will try to help. The Crossfire uses the KWP2000 protocol and as such from the Ultragauge website "Manufacturer parameters typically cannot be accessed on Vehicles with 9141 and KWP2000 protocols/interfaces. In general foreign vehicles prior to 2008 will use the 9141 or KWP2000 protocol." Thus I think you should purchase the EM plus 1.4 It also appears that only 8 parameters are pre-installed on the Ultraguage until you "configure Ultragauge with codes". So unless you know what codes you can install into the Ultragauge MX it seems that the EM plus is the way to go.
I have had an Ultraguage for years it is an older model and I find it useful to watch parameters while driving and though it can easily find the basic OBD II DTC codes and clear them, when I need to analyze a specific problem I will use my Foxwell or now my recently purchased DRB III. Ultragauge is a good basic OBD II scan tool with the added advantage of watching live info while driving.
