Like others said they can be hit or miss. The link below is what I have been using now since 2014. Screen name "Tugly" on the 99-2003 side is a great well of knowledge for all things TorquePro.

Great long thread on the TorquePro app started by Tugly:

I use the Torque Pro app on an old Samsung Tablet for the other OBDII info when I need it.

I personally am using DP tunes. Bought the cheaper F5 I think it's called. I can't get new tunes emailed to me, so I would have to send my chip back in. It was cheap enough for me at the time, and I haven't regretted it yet. I already have stage 1 injectors and have my 6 different tunes set to that. Once I do E-Fuel I won't have to send it in and get it redone. If i do a turbo swap and/or HPOP upgrade, I still technically won't but will be a good idea anyways. After that, I don't really plan on doing a bunch more upgrades performance wise, so for me I don't need the ability to get new tunes sent to me. that being said, it is a pretty cool option, and I would still recommend it.

Thanks for all the information. I appreciate it. I have finally made a decision to go with pillar gauges. Then I will invest in another Bluetooth adapter to use with Torque Pro and hope this one works.
