I have boost gauge from my 2011 EB f150 I will install. Probably just in a pod on the dash, unless a better mount come out.

What's wrong with the one in the dash?

It doesn't provide an actual psi or vac number, just a graph so you have to guess.

Can this be changed in Forscan I wonder?

801a doesnt have it in the cluster. Didnt find that out till i picked it up

it most likely wont read properly when the boost is increased as you will be out of its range. Also, its pretty vague at how much psi youre at unless you use forscan to show the digits

True... guess I'm not planning on pushing it soon lol. That's ******** if 801 doesn't come with that. It's not a damn luxury it's something needed.

Here is how I had it in my EB F150



not super fancy but got the job done

I should note, it was a pain in the ass to install. I grabbed a vac line of the intake manifold, and I picked one with a checkvalve so it only read vac. Tried again and it only read boost. Tried a third time and finally got a free flowing line to tap for the gauge, but it was a large line so I had to use reducers for my tee. Pick a good known source for intake manifold reference!

I had an Autometer A-pillar gauge pod in my Tremor.
