Cheapest way to do it is with the Greddy e-manage. It's a piggy back computer that allows you to tune fuel and ignition curves. I think it's about $300 for the e-manage and another $119 for the cable/software.

Greddy also makes a dedicated screen (available with built-in boost controller) that you can mount and use for tuning. I can't think of a non-ugly way to mount that screen though.

Sorry... I also forgt these things.

Apexi used to make a product called the multi checker that could display a lot of parameters.

Also, Techtom made the MDM-100 which snapped wright into the consult port and displayed just about ever parameter the ECU has access to.

I think both are discontinued, so you would have to shop ebay or classifieds for them. Both are very small units easily stashed away when not needed.
