I was having a nosey at this android app and it looked pretty awesome.

From what I gather (and I could be barking up the wrong tree), the miata didn't get OBD support until 1996 onwards. The app is talking about OBD II which I assume is the upgraded version from the original OBD. I have no idea which MX5's support OBD II tho'.
With my car being a 1990 model it obviously does not support OBD but I was wondering, if I was to turbo my car later on, do link or megasquirt ECU's support OBD II?

Thus far I have only tried the lite version of Torque (the android app
mentioned by MrGrey) - it connects to the ELM327 adapter via bluetooth
and seems to work just fine. I've not done much more than check that it
works, but am hoping it may give me some clue as to why my fuel economy
is crap (9.5l/100km).
My car is a NZ-new 2004 ("NB 2.5"). The OBD-II connector is supposed to
always be mounted near the driver - in my car it is next to the fuses,
under a panel on the underside of the steering column area - roughly
above my right knee. Not easy to see unless you're upside down in the
footwell. Connector looks something like this:

If anyone wants to have a look at what the adapter does, I'm in Mt Eden,
Auckland.

The Newly released Link G4+ stand alone ECU supports OBD2 for diagnostic purposes, and in my opinion the best ecu on the market in New Zealand at current, yes expense but all the support is here in NZ and any Tuner in NZ can tune them!
