Cheers bud. Having the computer in the air vent I've found is better than having gauges going up the A-pillar as it's got multiple gauges all in one unit. Looks neat as well and will reset the throttle body, the bhp and torque readings I'd say were accurate to within a couple of %, it lets you read and clear fault codes and lets you do MAF adaption as well. All usefull stuff

Because the Liquid Gauge is capable of reading VAG engines up to 500bhp, it needs to accommodate for the different MAF's and pipework people use when running that sort of power.
If you use an intake pipe with a bigger bore than standard, the volume of air passing the MAF will be greater. If you don't tell the gauge then it will calculate based on standard pipes. There's a bit of a formula you use to work out what the MAF adaption should be, it's all in the manual

Cheers lads,
I've been getting more into the inner workings of it of late, some of the info it gives you is brilliant. The 0-60 timing is accurate as well, have yet to test the 0-100 though!
current 0-60 I've nailed down to 6.2 seconds, that was with too much wheelspin, will need to hone that a bit 
Exhaust temperatures surprised me, when all warmed up and happily bundling along they 600degrees C +! giving it beans takes it over 800degrees C! 
I've had to buy a few bits for travelling to the Ring which is fast approaching, including some paint  as one of the spokes has a chip on it from a stone, should be finished painting it by the end of tonight. Itching to get the exhaust and remap done now though - Front Mount Intercooler (sprayed black to stop it drawing attention) is on the cards too

The normal routine is:
Key in ignition,
Turn on LG,
Check Fault Codes
Reset Throttle Body
Select Oil Temp, drive until Oil Temp is at normal operating temperature (about 85degrees C), with brief checks of intake temps whilst the oil warms up
Once warm, Select Boost and off we go
I'll flick between various screens whilst driving, but you can do it without looking, and then reading the info is the same as looking at the speedo etc. I use Boost Pressure, Oil Temp and AFR the most, and sometimes jump to the Bhp / Torque Calc, and occasionally the 0-60 timer
