Looking for recommendations for a low cost obd2 Bluetooth plug in that monitors engine performance. I've got a '15 scab with a 3.5eb and would like to monitor turbo boost pressure, engine coolant temp, engine oil temp and transmission temp.

I really dont want to spend $100 when I see some for $15-50. Anyone have experience with the cheaper ones on amazon?

 

What are you going to use for the "other side" of the Bluetooth connection? Your phone? A tablet? Windows laptop? I'd start there to figure out what app you want to use on what platform and see if they have a suggested adapters list and go from there. Some apps only allow certain adapters to connect, so you will probably find that if you buy the cheapest adapter on Amazon, it may not work with apps you end up wanting to use.

 

good suggestion. Id planned on using my phone. but as for what app, i havent gotten that far. Any suggestions for free apps that would track all of this data? Primary use would be when i'm towing but would certainly be handy for everyday driving as well.

 

I'd go with this
and if you've got an Android, this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...owl.torquefree although Torque Pro is worth the money though.

 

I'd agree with nhizzat with that adapter for the price point. The iOS compatible one is only a few dollars more if you're on iOS.

 

Do either of you use the Toque app, either lite or pro? I couldnt find anything that said whether it does have a boost pressure reading in real time display.

 

It does. Seems we have a resident Torque pro @F150Torqued if you want to learn more about it.
