Default CARPC instead Guages

I am getting ready to do some mods to my car and will require some additional guages. so I was thinking the GTR has a CARPC that displays the guages instead of having 20+ guages on a POD. does anyone have any experience with this or am I just dreaming. I want to keep the stock pressures, temps etc. on the DIC but new stuff reading to the CARPC.

Lots of folks have started doing some nice installs using Android Tablets and the Torque App. I've been looking into doing that and there are a lot of good articles by those that have done it. Looks promising.

Yup, that would be the easiest. There are also gauges now that plug into the OBDII port and can display most of what we need.

That Torque App looks nice except I'm not sure it can do logging. If you need that check out the Innovate OT-2.

what I am trying to accomplish is having my stock temps pressures etc running to my on board computer then the turbo setup guages run to a screen instead if a million guages on a pod. so I have researched a software that will do this and I am going to use what's called a raspberry pi and a HDMI cable to my double din I have in now
