I've got the one Ryan had for sale
Its been built into a dash pod with a larger screen.
I've not used it yet but from what I aware it does the same as the normal monitors do but will also monitor EGT.
Until I've actually wired it up I cant comment on exactlyl what it does but if anyone knows I'd like to know

I believe it has Kelv.
Its got a lot of connectors on the dash itself for either inputs or outputs for something.
It would be handy know what isn't needed as I'll be cutting it into a Mk2 escort dash, I'd rather just have the large lcd screen and 2 knobs on show

Btw I had few questions I sent to Pectel, but yet they haven't answered me, here is one which I think is important :
- How many minutes can a Pectel Monitor DATALOG ? Heard 10 minutes but sounds too little. If its right, is there any chance to change the internal memory because a rallystage can take up to 30-40minutes so it would be great to have more space to record.

Ok sounds better now ! 
Last thing I need to know is if you can add the warning lights if one hasn't got them ? It is quite important if anyone knows I would be happy to know if you can or not.

Have you thought about using a Collins Monitor? Pretty much the same as a Pectel unit, but i'm not sure if you can add functionality like warning lights/extra inputs to it.

Still a member here as one for sale but without the warning lights, and if it is possible to add these I will buy it but if not then no. I need the warning lights.

Won't change my ECU as it has been mapped with the engine I've got so I better buy just the monitor now, and as it has got a pectel engine loom it is just plug and play.
Just need to find a Pectel monitor now, or if it is possible to add the warning lights there is one for sale here I can buy.

Cant believe that P8 ( especially if its Pectel enabled ) wont work with an AIM dash ???
Won't work with a P8 ECU mate I was told.

XEN, I'm not sure, I'll see if I can find my 'manual' later on and see what it says....
Mike Rainbird may be able to help re: the warning lights - worth a PM.

Yes just red that. It is really a shame Pectel never published manuals of the various software versions with features, .... I know that's because they wouldn't have any money after selling them (no need of them if you can do it yourself) but still...
