I have the same issue with the boost gauge not reading right. Have the turbo boost gauge selected but just with the ignition on its reading -12psi so when im under power im just cracking 0psi with 50inches of vacuum at idle lol. I couldnt see anywhere that you could just adjust the gauge so im guessing its somwhere in the formula?

Do you have to do the equations on dashcommand?

Nah, don't do equations, I haven't run it for ages and it's had heaps of updates, lately they reckoned it might have now get oil and trans temp which I haven't gotten around checking

Well got my OBDLink MX Wifi and thin extension cable early this week. Everything is setup and running and I am happy. But, are we really sure about the oil temperatures. Using the equation (((A*256)+B)*5)/74-16 I got the oil up to 84.6 degrees this morning. Starting at 23 degrees in the garage (which is about right). Driving a short trip to school, then longer to work about 20 minutes driving in total.

But from reading around it seems that normal engine oil operating temperature should about 7 - 10 degrees higher than the water coolant which reached 90 degrees this morning. What temps are people getting on longer driver or at the race track?

Re, " But from reading around it seems that normal engine oil operating temperature should about 7 - 10 degrees higher than the water coolant which reached 90 degrees this morning. "

Your car got an Engine Oil Cooler that is part of your Engine Cooling System.

My Car BA MK2 Turbo 6 Speed Manual got an after-market Engine Oil-Cooler that uses Air going through it to cool the Oil !

When starting from "Cold" the Water-Temp will only take a few Km's to get up to ' Normal ' Temp. Oil Temp will take some extra Km's to get up to > 80 C .

The Engine Oil-Cooler System ( My Car ) comes with its own build-in thermostat that opens at around 80C to direct Engine Oil via the Oil-Cooler.

What I have seen via the Oil Temp Gauge is this... When its cold weather and I drive on the Highway the Oil Temp will go down to about 75C and stay there !

The reason must be the cold air going past the Engine-Sump.

In warmer / hotter weather Oil Temp will go up to 80-85C and stay there. If I start giving the Car a hard time going up some steep Mountain Road the Oil temp will go to 100-115 C ... but will go back down to what I call " normal " once I get back to normal road conditions.

I haven't fitted an oil cooler, car is stock. Does it come with one stock? if not my question still stands as to what other people are seeing on long drives and/or around the track.

thanks
