Im planning on going full standalone and yadda yadda yadda....


I was just wondering for you guys that do run full standalone how do you keep tabs on whats going on with your engine if MS will never throw a check engine light or alert you to something that is going wrong?

Im concerned about something happening to me on a long trip and not finding out until later.




Excuse me if this has been discussed I didnt know how to word what I was looking for

Add gauges? Or run tunerstudios on a laptop while driving.IMO

I know abt gauges of course but little things like if you left the gas cap un screwed it would throw an evap sensor code....


again im just curious to see how you guys keep up with it.

Most people that run MS have that common sense and know how there car is running. The important gauges you would need would be wide band, oil pressure, coolant temp, fuel pressure and voltage. Of course there are some other important gauges but those imo should be mandatory when going full stand alone with MS. If your anal about the check engine light then imo MS is not for you.

Exactly. You are not going to have a OEM functioning EVAP system anyway if you are running MS as a standalone.

eh not anal just curious ya know... thanks though

You are somewhat local, if you need help let me know.

Slo2g ill most certianly hit you up when im actually in the process of buying... right now I have 200 but I doubt that ill find a unit for that price.
