How do you like your indicators?

A two color LED (mounted where you choose), one color showing the device is "ready" (not in bypass) and the second shows when Fuel Cut has been prevented

How do you want to see the device working? Some have said they dont want a constant LED shining, only wanting to know when its done its job.

I voted for one light, but it'd be nice to have an "On" light somewhere hidden.

the second option includes a circuit status light on the board, which would be visible poking out the side of the unit itself.

I understand. I just thought it'd be nice to have the "power" light somewhere a little more hidden. I wouldn't want another light on the dash that's always on. It doesn't really matter though.

Significantly less than 80$ is all I can say at the moment.

Its been asked so Ill answer.

This FCD is not VRG3's design (it was the inspiration to make one).

I worked with electronic consultants to design the FCD around my specs. My goal was performance and ease of installation. The layout and component count was changed quite a bit to allow features like
Active or Bypass function with indicator
Fuel Cut Pressure exceeded indicator
10 turn resolution
SINGLE WIRE modification to ECU/Pressure sensor
12 volt power source

I should have these soon.

Ive decided the best way to market these is to give a bunch away to one prominent on the forums most popular for vehicles that would use it.

This way the user would give a review of the item and the users would respect the comments.

Although I will sell them direct, my plan is to sell them at a deep discount to a couple vendors so they can handle it.
