Looking for the best tuner to buy for Monitoring temperatures boost pressure etc! I’ve used super chip and cobbs in the past. I’m not looking to tune my truck. I’m more then happy with performance and fuel economy.
What y”all using out there. Let me know below.

I bought this guage off Amazon to monitor boost, iats, and afr. Very customizable and simple obd2 connection.

Man, that is cool and not too expensive. I have been trying to justify upgrading my radiator and intercooler in particular for summer towing. There have been moments I suspect Ford cuts back boost due to temps and load. This would be awesome. My current Scan Gauge 2 OBD2 scanner does good with standard water/trans temps but no boost information. At least the last time I checked.

TorquePRO $4.99
8" Onn Tablet $60.00
Wireless OBDII Reader $25.00

Way more customization than a purpose built gauge with countless types of data it can display.

@Msfitoy can share his tablet setup

I use the OBDLinks MX+ Module with Dash Command software.
Fully customizable panels and will allow you to setup your screens anyway you like. Even allows multiple pages to be presented. Nice thing about this setup is there is a whole community crowdsourcing their knowledge to make some pretty impressive displays

Dedicated boost gauges are like Jeep owners.

Some take them off-road, most don't. IE; Unless its a track machine its all for show. There I said it. Its rice-a-roni.

The reason wireless OBD dongles and tablets are superior is you get a plethora of other available information. I use mine for pretty much the same info I can get from my normal gauge cluster, the caveat being is now I can see ALL the information and not have to scroll up or down in the menu options for various info.

I used the free Torque, thought it was ok, similar to what Trig uses, Dash command.
Cheaper then TorquePRO. @OFC Ranger , what's the difference?
I used the free Torque with my car & could get oil temp. water temp & a bunch more, reset
code, read code, what more does one want?
Edit, I have 2 phones in my BRZ.

I saw that too, but knew from YouTube videos that it will do boost.

-Also I went with this over the tablet because it starts everytime I start the truck. With tablets and phones I don't like to turn it on and open the app.

Honestly I don't know off the top of my head with the differences but torque pro is a one-time purchase of $4.99. lol
