Costs less than $30 including the bluetooth adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racerx Member 111 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 26/04/13 05:09 AM Share Posted 26/04/13 05:09 AM Pretty good, haven't compared mine to a physical gauge, but mine indicates that the boost is correct as specified by Ford. It also calculates rwkw's and torque, however the accuracy is dependent on the vehicle parameter that you enter into the app. For me the app will be useful to compare before and after figures when a modification is done ie intercooler change as I now have a KW and torque baseline to refer to.

The only thing that can let it down is the update rate. The cheaper EBay ELM OBD2 Bluetooth adapters display captured data slowly I.e give it a boot full and it will display boost half a second later. These cheaper units still report accurate data, just not instantly like a normal boost gauge (digital or vac line) would. Still these are highly worth it for $10. Get one.
