Pardon the thread title - I tried to include as many keywords as possible to aid with searching.
I'm thinking about getting an UltraGauge for the Legnum. It's basically a screen that plugs into the OBDII port and then gives you a whole bunch of info.

I have a few concerns about this, mostly because I have very little knowledge or experience with ECUs, datalogging, OBD ports etc. I'm hoping you guys will be able to answer some of these concerns.
Firstly, has anyone used this particular product on their VR4? I saw someone mention it on the FB page the other day, but thought we should go over it on the forum instead.
The product totes itself and a ready-to-go 'plug and play' product - is this the case? I'm keen to do it if it's as easy as it sounds, because it's relatively cheap and simple. But if it starts to get complicated I won't bother.
I assume this just gets data from the ECU, which gets the data from factory sensors - much like a tuner would get when tuning? So I'm hoping some people who have experience with tuning can let me know what type of data imputs are available without having to add sensors etc.
I'm keen to use this mainly as a AFR and boost gauge (I already have a boost gauge, but if I can consolidate it into this then that will save space). I'm confident it should be able to get both of them, even though the AFRs are from a narrowband sensor as opposed to a wideband.
If both of those will work with the plug and play device, it will be worth the money to me. But I'm also keen on seeing what else would be available. Coolant temp in Celsius, fuel pressure, exhaust temp and maybe some sort of intake temp would be of interest to me - but I have no idea what sensors the ecu has from factory.
