Hmmm, an uber cheap and smallish tablet (or larger sized phone) would be a good viewer for something like that. You could write a Tasker script to pull the phone out of airplane mode and sets screen time out to "never" when it senses the phone is "charging" from the Link ECU when the car is on. Then just reverse the task when power is off so the phone hits airplane mode and turns the screen off. A sleek phone mount where the cigarette lighter resides would make it a done deal. I might have to look into that!

not any more. They have the SM pro that has boost input, 2 fluid temp inputs, 2 fluid pressure inputs and 2 egt/iat inputs.

I see, I was just looking at the function of the MultiGauge Link. The SM Pro is a good option, but still need to daisy chain an other module for AFR.

Keep talking guys, because I'm only about ankle deep into learning about RealDash. It does look fairly promising.

My plan was to run something like an 8" tablet on top of the steering column plastic. Then a cable into the dash down to the Link. It would only be used for track days, so not so worried about battery life.

We should meet up and talk through some of this. I'm in Flower Mound so we're only a few minutes away from one another. I'm getting my car back next week and will be starting to look at some of this more intently.

Davies Craig has a whole controller for their electric water pump to show not only temp but pump speed and control the fans too.
