Torque is a decent compromise and could possibly reduce the number of gauges you'll need. The ECU has most of the data you want already, but the car just doesn't have a way to display it. I'm running Torque on a Galaxy Note I had sitting around after I upgraded to another phone:



The one major piece of data Torque will not give you is oil pressure, because this car does not have a real oil pressure transducer. The stock oil pressure sender only gives an on/off signal to the idiot light in the dash at some ridiculously low pressure when it's already too late. If you want oil pressure, you'll have to install a sender and separate gauge. (I have a gauge out of a crashed Beechcraft airplane that will eventually go in mine in place of that 1980s digital clock, whenever I get the time to install it.)
