What gauges do you monitor on your Cobb?

Reckless335 · 08-01-2014, 01:08 PM

I just installed my Cobb AP V3 and I'm loving it. I'm stock aside from DCI and muffler delete, so I'm running the stage 1 aggressive map on linear throttle. (Can't decide whether I want linear or stock throttle yet) ANYWAYS..... I plan to use my AP to display gauges while it's running. I see there is an option to run up to 6 gauges. I have a few questions. First, what gauges does everyone monitor? I'm obviously going with boost, since the car doesn't have a stock boost gauge (I never understood this on a turbo car) but I also notice there's a torque gauge, but no horsepower gauge? Seems odd to me. Also, torque is measured in Newton meters, is there any way to change that to display the torque in ft.lb like normal? I don't see an option for that.

But mainly I'm curious what gauges everyone monitors (and how many) when you use your AP to view gauges.

You should Monitor:

Boost
IAT
AFR
Timing

Not sure what other options are available for Cobb

I do Boost, AFR, Actual Load, IAT, and timing correction on cyl 3 (which seems to be the noisiest cyl for me).

Thanks. Anyone have any clue how to switch the display from Nm to ft.lb for the torque reading?
