Yep, boost and vacuum. Separate dials also, if that's what you prefer.




AH! Maybe you are looking for a "BOOST" gauge. Look for "Vacuum / Boost" instead. See what that does for you.

You won't GET boost until the engine demands it. Heavy throttle under load and you will get a boost reading. Until then, you will only get Vacuum.

Torque app shows it without setting up custom parameters. Although I believe it reads a little lower by around 1 psi lower than actual boost at least on my car .

Nice setup CeeJay !, I want to get around doing that on my car instead of constantly messing with my phone
What's the max that you see at Wot?

I've not really stared at the gauge during WOT cuz 'driving', but a glance every now and then makes me believe somewhere right around 12 psi. I COULD check Torque for Max Value, but I just never have. I could set up a chronograph on a different page I guess, then go in there every so often and check it out. That's a good thing about Torque, you can have I think seven pages of stuff, and many things per page.

I could put those on a different screen, they'd work. I like the LOOK of the ones I have now for my main screen, and easier to read. Good thing for 'Pages'.

What hardware is recommended to connect to the ODB2 port to use the torque app and can you leave it plugged in all the time with out draining the battery?

Can someone who installed the mod to integrate the gauges on the infotainment screen post the the most current and easiest way link for the installation. Thanks

‘Easiest’ is probably the ‘flyc2c’ method using a HKS Camp2 unit.
’Lower cost’ would be the ‘Sean W’ method using an android based box.
Both use a GVIF unit, so that install is the same.
Comes down to sort of ‘plug and play’ with the Camp2, vs ‘some setup required’ with the android.

kj07xk, the android box method may offer more options (Android Auto etc.)? The HKS Camp2's appear to be hard to get.

You’re correct on both counts.
Installation would be similar.
Camp2’s pop up periodically on ebay, androids you can order today.
Probably comes down to your budget and comfort level with setting up an android box.

They were around $700 new I think. To me Android Auto is worthless unless you can manipulate it through the touch screen. I paid $500 for mine and it was used. Whatever floats your boat.
