I wanted to add a little tech since I see more and more of the Terminator X systems on buggies.
After 18 months with mine, I still love it and think it's much better than the HPtuners options out there, if you like to tinker with electronics.
As you may know, the ECU doesn't have provision for a temperature sensor input.
The 4 available inputs only take 12v, Ground, 5v, and Frequency. Well, it turns out you can add a pull-up resistor and turn a resistance based sensor into a 5v ref one and feed the data in the ECU and be able to monitor different temperatures in your dash and datalog them (<--- this is huuuuge !).
This video shows how :
I am adding a trans temp sensor in my cast trans pan and I will use the following sensor that you can find at any parts store for cheap :

I feel like trans temp monitoring is a good addition to the terminator X system or any system really, and this method lets you do it without buying the expensive dash with a resistance sensor input.
Hope this helps.
