Better DTC descriptions where as torque often has none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saves the battery.I got torque free edition all setup and working with boost, timing, coolant temp, rpm, throttle position and load.I did buy the pro version, but cant figure it out, to set it up like the free edition.Cbf trying to figure it out. Maybe mattyp can put a youtube tuturial together for us hey? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
