You can come back to the peak reading after you've switched the car off, or send the pressure signal to your logger while you're driving. AEM offers two kits here, so you'll choose between the 35-psi 30-0306 and the 60-psi 30-0308 before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose the gauge and sensor together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 30-0306 comes with a 3.5-bar brass MAP sensor and displays boost up to 35 psi, or 2.5 bar. The 30-0308 takes the display up to 60 psi, or 4 bar, and comes with a different 5-bar brass MAP sensor. You've also got manifold vacuum on either version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're expecting more than 35 psi, you'll need the 60-psi kit. There's no menu setting that turns the smaller kit into the larger one. You can change units, the warning and the peak setting with the buttons, but you're still working with the gauge and sensor you ordered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth arrive with a black bezel and a reversible black faceplate. If you prefer bar to psi, you'll reverse that faceplate as well as change the display mode. AEM's manual walks you through opening the gauge to do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe brass sensor and your ECU\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a reading on the dash, you've got the brass sensor supplied with the kit. AEM describes brass boost sensors as a reference for you, the driver. Its recommendation changes to stainless when you're choosing a more precise pressure sensor for ECU calibration. So if you're buying parts for an ECU installation as well, you've got another sensor decision to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can log the reading from this gauge, but that doesn't make its sender the right MAP sensor for every ECU. Check what your ECU needs from its MAP sensor before you connect the AEM sender to it. The X-Series has four digits in its center readout. You'll still need to look at the sensor specification when you're considering measurement accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePeak recall on the X-Series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou don't have to watch for the highest number while you're driving. You've got the PEAK button to bring up the maximum, including after you've turned off the car. Before another run, you can clear the peak you've already stored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a closer look at what happened, you can record the X-Series reading in your ECU or logger. You'll have the pressure trace to compare with the rest of your data, including when you reached that peak. You can connect through 0-5 V analog or through AEMnet CAN. You'll need AEMnet support on the receiving device if you wire the gauge to its CAN input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor analog logging, you've got the calibration in the manual for the kit you bought, along with separate analog-positive and analog-negative wiring instructions. Follow those signal-ground instructions instead of adding the signal return to a convenient power ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can set the center display to flash above or below a pressure you choose, using the tune and operating limits for your engine. If you're looking for wastegate control, you'll need a boost controller as a separate part of the setup. The X-Series also dims its display automatically. You've got that feature when you're using the gauge after dark, along with the flashing warning when pressure crosses the threshold you've chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMounting the shallow X-Series housing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-Series housing measures 0.825 inch deep overall. Only 0.200 inch of that is the cup behind the mounting face, so you've got less gauge housing to accommodate behind your pod or panel. You'll still need room for the connector and the harness to leave the back of the gauge without being crushed. The supplied bracket and thumb nuts secure it in a 52 mm opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll use the pressure sensor out at your intake, with the harness running back to the gauge. AEM recommends remote mounting with flexible tubing and vibration isolation to help it last longer. If you've got exhaust components along the harness route, keep the wiring clear of their heat. You'll need a protected location inside your car for the gauge itself, since it isn't waterproof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your pod opening is a little larger than 52 mm, you've got the supplied rubber band to help the gauge fit more snugly. AEM still recommends that you secure it with the bracket. A gauge that pushes neatly into the pod needs to stay there when you're driving, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e52 mm \/ 2-1\/16 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.825 in overall; 0.200 in cup depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFour-digit center readout and 24 outer LEDs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisplay modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVacuum\/boost in US or metric units\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLogging outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0-5 V analog and AEMnet CAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak recall and adjustable warning threshold\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSwitched 12 V supply with a 5 A inline fuse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtected interior; gauge is not waterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAvailable kits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU \/ MPN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum boost display\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eaem30-0306 \/ 30-0306\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 psi \/ 2.5 bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5-bar brass MAP sensor (35-2131-50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eaem30-0308 \/ 30-0308\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 psi \/ 4 bar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5-bar brass MAP sensor (35-2131-75)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eParts supplied with each kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAEM supplies the gauge and its matching brass sensor, plus the power\/I\/O harness you'll wire into your car.
