The TurboXS DTEC is a revolutionary new product that turns your Nintendo® Gameboy Advance into a programmable, upgradeable, automotive performance tool for tuning, data logging, and diagnostics.

The DTEC plugs into your Gameboy Advance (GBA) and comes preloaded with software that lets you use your Gameboy as a Boost Gauge, Exhaust Gas Temperature Gauge, Air Temperature Gauge and Tachometer. Future plug-n-play sensors will allow everything from Knock Indication to Vehicle Acceleration (ie. G-Force). All sensors are sold separately.

The display is highly configurable and lets you customize things like gauge scaling, unit of measure (eg. psi or bar), text color and gauge range (eg. 0-100 deg C or 0-200 deg F). Data can be displayed via the gauge output or on a rolling time base log that can record, store, and playback data for closer analysis.

That's SICK. I'm in the process of supercharging my Benz. I wonder if I can do a permanent mount display with nice integration. It would be a lot cooler than doing the standard boost/fuel gauges in the ashtray area. Is the GBA screen backlit?

That's great. I wish I had a reason to put my GBA SP in my car.

And oh yeah, the GBA SP price just dropped to $80. It keeps getting better.

That is so ****ing cool. I'm not into the whole forced induction scene, so I don't know anything about it, but that rocks! Could that fit into the slot below the stereo?

The GBA SP fits in that slot with plenty of room to spare.
