Digital Gauges
So I want to see my boost pressure and oil temps on a digital gauge and I am looking at a couple different options to achieve it. I can always get the rather expensive DashDAQ that I know is super customizable and will achieve all I want. I just think I can do it cheaper. There is a OBD2 Bluetooth adapter HERE but there are a lot of different apps to use with these types of products. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with them? I can get a 5" Android device for around $99 and then around $100 for the BT OBD device. So for half of a DashDAQ I can get the gauges I
want.
Has any one set up anything like this?

Your not gonna see oil temp without an external sensor module.

Ah, good to know. I guess I will have to rethink my build then as I would like to have oil temp as part of my pack of gauges. Is there a preference on moduls that others have used in the past? Since it looks like I will have to change my budget on this I will look into different equipment for my digital gauges.

i was looking at these but how accurate is it really going to be...
i mean the softwares interpretation of your ecu's signals vs having a sensor directly hooked up to each gauge for individual readings
