Yes I have to say PLX too, nice bit of kit and you can daisy chain the control units so you can have one gauge which shows the readings of all of your chosen sensors.
If you’re in Europe do a search for Telematica in Greece they stock PLX stuff and are on eBay too.

Innovate   LC2   :)
Often the cable is too short mtx-l for vw
 is a smart log to Innovate ( micro log :  $100 )
Have four on my race car (LC 2) :) :) :)

They use these people now for distributing, I’ve just ordered the AFR and boost/vac sensor modules with the multi gauge, you can buy a dongle so you can display the gauge on your mobile or tablet.

PLX design are one of the best around for the money.
Also the  "Wideband-commander 2  from dynojet" is a good device for the money.They have the datalogging option too,and you can also monitor some pressure and temps.
Been using it for more then 8 years now on my rolling-dyno.

I received the PLX 4th gen afr today and the only negative for me is the sensor module housing is now made of extruded plastic instead of alloy as with the earlier models, feels a bit cheapish being plastic and I don’t think the price is any lower compared to the earlier models, I would of preferred an alloy housing but it’s whats inside that counts I guess and that’s been upgraded.
