ScangaugeII Impressions
I ordered my ScangaugeII off of Amazon Sunday night. It arrived Tuesday morning. Very fast considering the shipping cost $0!
Install was easy, basically plug it in and place it where you want. I put it to the left of my gauge cluster, behind it. Visible but not obnoxious or in the way.
I set it to my engine being 2.6 liters, and 15 gallon gas tank. You cant set it to do 15.9, and I think I'd rather it think my tank is smaller than too large.
Overall, its cool. I get to see the difference in my fuel economy realtime, how it decreases on turns, or increases behind a huge truck. Overall, I like it.

I have mine set on mpg, battery voltage, intake temp, and coolant temp. I saw some vid on here, where the person had the intake manifold pressure display but he had a turbo setup 
...
Hey now think about it, what are you guys avg intake temps on lets say a 60 to 70 or so degree (F) day?.
Mine are about 76 when its 60 and anywhere between 80-100 when its in the 70s...

this thing sounds sick! thanks for putting up the review...
few questions though:
how did you mount it? maybe a pic or two...?
is the wiring just hanging out?
is it remotely helpful for anyone with a stock engine/intake/drive train? i haven't modded any of that on my car yet, but for some reason really wanna buy it just to have info on display, cause i'm into that. I drove around with an accelerometer in my car for a few months and loved it even though i rarely raced with it...
