Along with that, if you have a smartphone, download this app there is a free version as well but I recommend the paid one, more options.
Very cool, probably the best perk is no longer guessing MPG, it calculates it for you and will keep a running average. Coolant temp, Air Intake temp, throttle position, engine load, oil temp(if veh has sensors), tranny temp(if veh has sensors), and a ton of other stuff. For a total investment of $25, this is impossible not to have to play with. Im playing with the idea of getting a 7" Tablet and mounting it on the dash as a permanent gauge readout.

A cheap tablet permanently mounted would be cool.

I just got mine in the mail today. I messed around with it for a bit on the torque app. It works pretty well from what I was able to see. It does what it's supposed to do as far as I can tell. Oh ya if you decide to get a tablet for it make sure it has blutooth built in. My tablet didn't have it so I had to get USB blutooth, weird I know my tablet has a USB port but not blutooth hopefully it'll work with that
