hello I have a turbocharged alfaromeo (normal petrol, not diesel) mito 2009 and got loads of available readongs. bur since i'm not an expert and can't distinguish between most entries on the pid list on wikipedia.. what is the entry for the turbo pressure? my oem dashboard has a dot matrix display showing a meter from 0bar to 1,3bar.. but all the display i tested so far shows very different sensors. not this one i'm looking for. what's the gauge name or pid for thid very common sensor? thanks

Hi

all you need to do is add the "Turbo boost" gauge on the realtime information screen. Make sure your vehicle profile has the correct information for engine size filled in.

Regards,

Ian

🙂 I sorted it out! It was already present in my screen, displayed in "in/Hg" with also negative values... I changed some settings and the same display now show "bar" and from 0 to 1.3
Really excellent!

Pity me when I exit torque and start it again, the preferences (a grand part of them, including "dont' convert hg to psi.. etc) are always reset to default :\ I'm sure that a fix will soon tweak this!
Thanks bye!

Paolo

Hi,

Its funny, I've the same car as Ruspa. But I just can't seem to get torque to connect to my ecu. adapter is fine, used AlfaOBD. Could work with the car. So, should not have anything wrong with the ECU or adapter.. 🙁

@ruspa

Are you using a custom ROM?
The preferences are stored as part of the main android preferences - there have been a couple of custom ROMs that have caused preferences not to be saved correctly (but that was mainly cyanogenrom some time ago)

@iridium-x

Some vehicles (in differing countries) aren't subject to the same legislation for OBD2 support, so you may find that your vehicle isn't strictly OBD2 (earlier Alfa JTDs are a good example of non-compliant OBD2 implementations - commonly you will notice that the RPM is 1/4 of what it should be on these vehicles) - Diesels before 2004 are generally not OBD2 compatible for a lot of manufacturers in the EU/US

Also, make sure your protocol is set to 'Automatic - Fast' in the vehicle profile in Torque as this will ensure the adapter checks all the available protocols

Generally speaking, if the vehicle is OBD2 compliant, it will 'just work' with Torque (OBD2 is a shared standard, and is the same between all manufacturers that support it, so what works with one vehicle, will work with another)
