Scanmaters Accuracy

Whats more reliable? My Analog Gauges or my Scanmaster?

RPM-Scanmaster reads about 500RPM More then Tach.
MPH-Scanmaster reads 1 more MPH then Speedometer. (not to worried their)
Coolent Temp-Gauge reads about 50 degrees hotter then Scanmaster. Scanmater is usually about 170 (I like that). Gauge shows 220-230. (I dont like that).

Is this probably the cause if cheap gauges or is my scanmaster getting false readings?

Scanmaster only puts out the info your ecm puts out. So it only reads what your ecm reads.

I trust the ecm more than some cheap guages. Guage is only as good as the sending unit for it.. and then comes the guage itself.

If you have a bad sending unit, then you have bad data.
