Lightbulb CAN Bus decoding

Greetings! Has anyone ever had any luck with CAN Bus decoding? Specifically, I would be interested in adding a small LCD display with turbo boost pressure and temperature to my 2019 XLT if it can be done.

cant you add boost to the dash display using forscan? I would do a search on that

that and probably anything else should be viewable on a multitude of obd2 connected devices and mount the display somewhere

Google "can bus gauge" and there are lots of gauges you can add and program to show a variety of parameters.

If you want to program yourself, look for an Arduino-based device called CanBus Triple. It was an old Kickstarter campaign, and the device had tons of functionality since it was based on the Arduino platform.

Sorry I mentioned XLT but that meant that it has the 4 analog gauges for the upper part of the instrument cluster, where the digital boost pressure gauge would be if that were possible. There are other ESP32 with CANBUS shields projects that can decode and run remote displays which is what I'm looking to accomplish here.
