    I have a ODBLink OBDII adaptor which has both Bluetooth & USB capabilities for the HW side. Cost 100 quid.

    I got an autel code reader off ebay for about £120 and it does all brands of car, reads the codes and resets them if required.

    Only way to program the ECU is to use Adam's turbo tuner stuff.

    Scantool .net includes sensor reading into your laptop.
