    Not sure where to throw this post, but figure this is as good as any.

    I see the Android app Torque gives good feedback, Boost, voltage, acceleration etc. However, I am looking at which Bluetooth OBDII device to get, they range from $35-100. I understand the most expensive one is "supported" but is there a risk with using a cheaper version? If you are simply monitoring the engine, I can't imagine it causing problems.

    Just wanted to see if anyone is using this.

    I've looked all over the internet but I haven't found a definite answer for this yet

    I just got my ELM adapter from amazon and it works well. The only problem that I have is no boost reading.

    How do you know which version of Torque you have and how can I update if its an old one. I dont see any option in the settings.

    Boost can't be read with CAN. Anybody know how to get VAG readings from a bluetooth ELM327?

    Awesome, I only wanted this thing for boost! I see videos of guys in Europe getting it to work with these same readers. HUH!
