Hey Kyle,

I’ve got a Bostig install and don’t have the issues you describe. Mine is
one of the original series but there were electronics to adjust the tach.

I had hooked up a Bluetooth OBD II sensor and used an app on my phone. But
the sensor was always on and drew too much from the battery so I removed it.

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
Harry
