Currently running a Bostig Conversion and using OBDwiz from www.scantool.net. The free mobile app is pretty nice and works better than Torque, but it only supports certain adapters from scantool I believe. I am waiting for better app to come out but it is sufficient for my needs of wanting RPM and fuel economy etc... I am still tweaking the system as far as gauges and dashboards. I view this data on a Samsung Tab3 7 inch and it sits on top of the steering column in a horizontal fashion. I use a Spider mount to hold it and the legs fit perfectly into the slot under the dash cluster. I spent a little more money on the nice Bluetooth OBDII adapter to get a better real time representation of what the motor is doing. So far it works great on RPM but not so much on the Speedometer.

It's a bit pricey, but not unreasonable if you're interested in tracking fuel economy and possibly other engine data, and it's much less bulky than having a laptop in the cab. > > http://www.automatic.com > > At the moment only available for pre-order, it's expected out in the fall. > > Jarrett > '89 Bostig'd Westy
