EFILive Users & FI, What Gauges? Those who use EFI Live on a forced induction application, what gauges are you using? or are you using gauges at all for things such as AFR, Boost, and fuel pressure?
If I get EFI Live I want to be able to log and scan these three parameters. I know EFILive can have 4 inputs but I believe they need to be 0-5volt inputs.
any suggestions?

To log those values, you don't necesarily need guages. All you really need are the appropriate sending units and their ranges. The link in my sig describes setting up fuel pressure for logging. The only difference would be the calc.pid you use for the boost and AFR.

The links don't work for me
But yeah I understand that I don't necessarily need gauges in order to log but I figured when I'm not logging it would be nice to keep an eye on them.

You can use a 2 bar MAP and the power of EFILive to make a Boost Gauge. This way you can monitor all three and only have to setup 2.

So I can use the Innovate LC-1 with EFILive as well as have a gauge in the car? Same with an Autometer electronic FP gauge?
How do these tie into or wire into the log and scan tools if they are already sending a signal to the gauge?
When these other parameters are scanned or logged, do they show up as an actual reading or just 0-5 volts reading?
I see what you are saying about the boost gauge but does that require to have the EFILive Handheld box in the car all the time?
Do you know if all the Dynotune products work with EFILive?

Yes I am doing it

I am just logging the pressure with no gauge, but it should work w/ a gauge

Tap into the line that carries the voltage to the gauge, or an existing secondary fed w/ equipment like the LC-1
When these other parameters are scanned or logged, do they show up as an actual reading or just 0-5 volts reading? You log the voltage and create a Calc PID that converts the voltage to the reading you want

The LC-1 does for sure
