I use ScanguageII for boost and IATs ... plugs into ODBII port and there we go ... have it mounted on steering column below instrument cluster.
Temporary install - dont think I will ever make it permanent - but usefull tool. Its a bit slow even at its fastest update rate but gives me what I need. Update speed is around once every second - so can be a bit painfull when you want more detail. Also you cannot dump data down to PC - that would be handy as sometimes you cannot watch all data items at the same time - it also cannot recall recent max / mins - which I find odd.
It does what I need (I basically wanted an IAT and Boost guage) and I just dont fancy driving around with a laptop in the car!!!
BTW is there any datalogger that gives you A/F ratios ??

You can get manifold pressure via the obdII port with any generic scanner. You have to convert the values to psi and subtract atmosphere but there are a few scanner programs that will display in psi.

ScanguageII shows total PSI .. so u need to subtract atmos ... but this is no big deal.

I didn't realize that you had to subtract atmospheric pressure. I was looking at my old MAP graphs and it showed 20-25 psi at times.

The Scanguage does what I need - Boost & IAT and timing but I have not got a handle on how timing varies at WOT vs IAT vs Boost. Thats why it would be great if you could dump this data somewhere to review later.... the Scanguage should have a USB memory stick port where it can dump a rolling few hours of data ... should be simple as making tea to put that together.
O well ... mbe I need the autoengenuity scantool for this ... - looks the part.

Where the hell did they come up with the dialogue for that movie??? MoTec exhausts??? And since when did Spoon do anything having to do with tuning the **** out of an engine?
