I have one which I took of my saff when I sold it as it’s a very useful bit if kit. It basically wires in to the ECU and displays all the information from the engine sensors. RPM, Water temp, MAP pressure, Intake temp, volts, throttle position

You can also map water injection with it and fit a shift light and an alarm function if anything goes over your predefined settings. Oh and it will also recall peak data. & as it runs of the cars own sensors its great for diagnosing sensor faults

Hope that helps

You can DIY at a push.. Take it to any auto electrician and it will be fine. You need to open the wiring plug that goes on the ECU and just solder in to the pins. Instructions tell you which ones, there are about 10 wires I think..

Prices are Ł257 delivered for a green screen one, or Ł267 for a blue screen one . Comes with full instructions, and as long as you can work a soldering iron, is easily DIY .

That reminds me, must order one soon for mine.
As stu says, silly having a cossie without one really when its so cheap to know EXACTLY what the ECU thinks is going on.
