I've got a couple of them on my car that I have had for years. The fuel pressure gauge looks nice, if only it were accurate!. I have a regular test gauge I use that I bought from one of the vendors that hooks to the fuel rail, as the cyberdyne one is off by like 15-20 psi, and doesn't seem to update that fast. Mine is several years old, so maybe they have improved the design. I've tried 2 of these gauges and they are both inaccurate compared with known good pressure gauges.
I also have the air/fuel ratio gauge, and it looks really nice with the bar graph going up/down. I wouldn't use it for tuning purposes, but it does look nice, and I had an open spot on my T-Top pillar gauge holder to fill. When I run leaded gas (off road of course) and the sensor starts to go bad, you can see the sensor dying because the bar graph doesn't move fast anymore, so the gauge is not COMPLETELY worthless. You can just get a Scanmaster or scan tool and check cross-counts though, along with a boatload of other things..
Being the sucker I am for gadgets, and the fact they do look nice, I have kept them in my car instead of selling them here to someone..

When I bought my G.N. it came w/a cyberdyne fuel pressure
and boost gauge in the front of the console.
I'm changing them out to Autometers mainly because one of the bars on the fuel pressure gauge started going out intermintinately on me.
What I did notice about them were: they were sometimes hard to read in bright light and also the biggest annoyance was under
acceleration they were difficult to watch because the numbers were changing so fast - looked like the bars on a a slot machine.
