I have been looking for opinions on the Lund nGauge. I have read great reviews on Lund Racing and their tunes but I can't find anything about the nGauge and if it is worth getting. I was going to go with 3 separate gauges- Air/Fuel, Boost and Fuel Pressure. But then i would have to get an SCT to load Lund's tunes in my car and datalog with it. Jon said that this will do it all. Anybody have an opinion on the nGauge??? Good, glad you have it, wouldn't change it for the world or Don't like just having 1 gauge and wished you would have gotten something else. How about quality? What do you think?

Love mine. I had AeroForces in my 2011, and while they were nice to customize, they were a PITA to do so. The nGauge is super easy to customize what readings you want etc. It's worth it IMO. Touch screen isn't a capacitive like our smart phones and tablets, but for a resistive screen it works very well.

I have an S550, but here's a pic for reference.

They are sweet. It will do everything an aeroforce does and it data logs.

+1,000,000 on what has already been said. It's pretty damn awesome. My only complaint is that it gets glare in the sun and is a little difficult to see at times.

Love mine. I got the HPT version instead of the lund version. That way any HPT tuner can take care of me.

I don't want the Lund because of how he got it where its only good for his tunes; so I'm glad you chimed in.

Who tuned your car? I've always been worried that I'll want to use a tuner like AED or etc and they won't use HP tuners.

The tune I am running now was done by Ken Bjonnes (Formerly Lund, now starting palm beach dyno). Lot of people tune with HP so that made me more comfortable purchasing this. It just means I can't go to Lund for remote tunes using the nGauge.

I dont like the fact you cant change anything by yourself. Everything has to go through the tuner. Want to swap tire sizes, gotta wait for a tune revision. Or you can have a SCT device and a NGauge.

I ordered mine today. I have done the research and couldn't find anything bad about Lund and his tunes. The nGauge has gotten no bad reviews that I can find. Looks like I will be using Lund Racing from now on. We will see how it goes and I will keep y'all posted on the results. Hey if things don't go as expected, it's just another $1000. I will just have to keep watering that MONEY TREE in my back yard.

Can it be any worse than the aeroforce? If the gauge gets hot from being in a hot car during the summer it is worthless. Polarized sunglasses? Also worthless.

Mine has survived the south Texas heat and i dont have the glare problem, seeing as its mounted in the upper left part of the windshield.

I've yet to have one break on me. I have it mounted in the highest of the two pods in my SOS. Just like my 2006 car with the same setup. When it gets hot the gauge is very hard to read.

I can see your point, but if you have Lund, you're really only waiting like at most a day for a revision. I did a data log last night, sent it to Jon and he sent me a revision this morning at 6:55AM lol.

Other than the suction cup mount. What other mounts are available for a 06 GT? It is larger than the typical gauge.

You are joking right? Depends on who at Lund is doing the tuning.

What do you mean by this? I get lightning fast revisions from Jon Jr. During business hours it's within 20 minutes...
