Cool Use your Gameboy for a boost gauge! hehe



The TurboXS DTEC is a revolutionary new product that turns your Nintendo® Gameboy Advance into a programmable, upgradeable, automotive performance tool for tuning, data logging, and diagnostics.

The DTEC plugs into your Gameboy Advance (GBA) and comes preloaded with software that lets you use your Gameboy as a Boost Gauge, Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge, Air Temperature Gauge and Tachometer. Future plug-n-play sensors will allow everything from Knock Indication to Vehicle Acceleration (ie. G-Force). All sensors are sold separately.

well you would figure the unit would be cheaper than the A pods... or that would defeat the purpose of it..

Remember they also had a thing for the gameboy that you plugged in, went fishing, dropped it in the lake, and it would tell you if any fish where near, and also had a guesstimate on what kind of fish they where? Gameboy rocks

The price is there on the site, $229 for the DTEC, $100+ for each sensor. It comes out about dead even with the cost of a DEFI gauge and sensor, when you add in the cost of the GBA itself. Looks like it would also be a similar install time.
