Vacuum Gauge in center display

I have seen some people get the vacuum gauge in GT's to read boost from an aftermarket supercharger. Can anyone tell me how to make this happen?

Swapping the center cluster from an ecoboost will give you an actual boost gauge that matches the PP gauges on the GT and its plug and play. Takes 5 minutes. I considered doing that with my Paxton setup on my 2016 GT Base PP but it's difficult to monitor the boost gauge in the center of your dash and keep your eyes on the track. I'm leaning towards an a-pillar setup with an aftermarket gauge.

I thought about adding in actual gauges but though there'd be an easy way to make the digital gauge work like this one

You just need to reprogram the AS Built Data of the IPC with ForScan. Take the value of an ecoboost and you'll have it. I did it on mine.

Would you happen to have that value Will start my search now in case you don't.

top of my head no lol. Give me a VIN # of an ecoboost same year as yours and same tranny I might be able to get it for you. The ppl on the on the ASB thread might be able to have it somewhere for you though.

IMO I wouldn't rely on the factory "calculated" boost/vacuum gauge. Especially if you have a custom tune. Very small variances in how the torque model is changed can effect the load the PCM believes it is seeing and the gauge output quickly goes to shit.

Even my FRP P3 setup is clearly inaccurate, my vacuum gauge swings to 0inhg with about 15% throttle, which is clearly wrong.

Couldn't imagine not having my vac gauge. It's part of the reason I'm averaging 23-24 mpg. It tells you right where you need to be at cruising speeds.

It isn't though. Even opening the butterfly valve a little bit drops the delta-p across the throttle body until a new equilibrium is reached. It's one reason vacuum gauges are so handy when diagnosing engine trouble. They detect tiny changes in airflow that aren't always apparent.
