I am finishing off my MX5 turbo-engined locost build at the moment and I am using the original MX5 loom. I have already purchased an AEM AFR gauge and
an AEM Tru Boost controller/guage so I want to keep these and not consider the likes of an all-in-one Digidash etc. I am not keen on using the
original clocks as they it will look a little out of place.
So, I'm after a fairly minimalist Speedometer/tachometer which is IVA compliant and I am wondering what my options are. I would like something
that doesn't require a great deal of work to integrate with my current MX5 loom.
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks in advance 
I am also in the market.
My favourite is a speedo from Intellitronix. They are American and can be had on eBay or Summit racing.
This, a fuel gauge and a scan gauge to read the data from my ecu.
Second option for me is the etb digidash 2. Solid quality but a bit dated. And I will need seperate h@uges for boost, afr and charge temp.
Third option for me is the Race technology Dash 2 but they are very vague on if it will work with my ecu, and the interface is an extra £150. But it
should show everything with out extra dials.
Fourth option a basic koso unit.

It looks to have the basics and is cheap and cheerfull.
I may get one and upgrade next winter if it’s crap.
I still have an unused ST700 system, if that's worthy of any consideration.
Not an LCD tachometer, but a rather good stepper motor needle display.

It's a hansom display I just don't think I could see the mph display at any great speed with a helmet on.

Acewell 1600 would fit the bill, or one of the £xxx series if you want warning lights as well, or maybe the 2856

Do you know if it meets the minimum requirements for IVA? If so, I might take a punt on it!
