Hi Johnny. That is exactly what i've got. I got the manual from the keyence website after registering and it says the unit can display psi,kPa, MPa, mmHg, kgf/cm2. It's a small unit too, about 1 1/4 inch wide so should fit well on a dash.
It has a few output wires that usually go to a PLC so the machine knows whats going on. In our case we'd only be using the LED display. I think the display can be set up to go red at pre determined pressures so would work like a shift light. Also, i'm unsure of whether it'll retain it's zero after the car is turned off. It would be nice not to have to zero it and set it to display psi or whatever every time i start or FAS. To be honest, it's a little overkill and also hard to read in peripheral vision while driving but i'll give it a go, it's got the cool factor for sure!
Mods happen slowly with me due to work and kids so bear with me!
