Has anyone installed air/fuel gauges??
 
I came across this while shopping around:

http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/MISC/POR_MISC_INNOV2_pg11.htm

Was wondering two things.
1) Does anyone have experience or knowledge about this? Though it'd add that sportscar look to the car, I'm wondering if it'd be worth it.
2) If installed, was it DIY? Would it be doable for someone who say, has experience with engines and cars but is not a certified Porsche mechanic?

To use an old Texas saying, “All hat, no cattle………..” So you buy this for nearly $100, then have someone that knows how to weld stainless put the bung in the car, install the sensor and wiring, and you get a reading. Now what? Without being able to control the A/F ratio (read remap the DME), you have no way of changing the values.

Kind of lacking in purpose…………

Drop it in. I have the aem uego gauge type. I was running rich after my swap and now I am right around 12:4s. I used the apexi afc select. I used these products on
my past turbo cars. Pm if you need more info.

You're getting a little ahead of the thread there. Of course I wouldn't be able to do anything at first. BUT, once its in and I'm monitoring it, I can then proceed onward with the tweaks.

There are other ways to monitor and collect this data without going this route.

good point. I know that too. But I was asking about this route in particular.
