Quick one... the Profec B Spec II has a built in boost pressure dispaly. My question is how accurate is this pressure reading to actual pressure being fed in to the engine? I was thinking of mounting it on the steering column or center console and using it as an alternate means to display boost pressure. Or would i be better off installing a boost gauge? Thoughts? Thank you.

I had mine mounted on my steering column with double sided 3m tape. I used it as my boost gauge and it always seemed accurate. I'm sure others have had different experiences. Try it for a while and see if it works for you.

its actually more accurate. i did the same. it can give you finer measurements. and it has a warning function as well. it lights up red if your over boosting.

That was my thinking too... I mean, it's usually ideal to run your boost gauge off the vac line off the TB. But I was thining this would be essentially the same thing, except off the line to the wastegate. If i hooked up a boost gauge off that line, and one of the TB, it should read the same correct?

its way easier to tune it with a separate boost gauge though. trying to do it with the unit is a headache.

It is accurate for what it is.... I would recommend a dedicated gauge though.

How do you like the profec II? I used mine for a bit, then sold it to Dan " Mydogsdrift" from az240.... I could care less for that controller. Thought it was junk, it worked ok to say the lease, just not my preference.

What exactly did you not like about it? What didn't work?
