Question About OEM Premium Gauge Cluster

[brandonalberd]

So after speaking with a friend of mine [MENTION=15813]Dntalman[/MENTION], we noticed that in his 2015 Premium Auto GT that he has Boost/Vacuum on his factory gauges in the center, but on my 2016 Premium MT82 GT, I do not. My gauges only show Vacuum.

Am I missing something? I don't figure it's too accurate anyways, but just curious as to why he would have it and I wouldn't.

Maybe they ran out of gauges for that day :ford:...I think boost is only for the EB's...I'm probably wrong though

 

[brandonalberd]

That's what he said . It is weird though. Both cars are supercharged, obviously not factory but.

My 2016 Premium just says vacuum, maybe it was a 2015 thing.

Just checked, my 2015 GT premium does in fact have boost (up to 20 psig) and vacuum on the gauge. Guess it's a sign from Ford I should go forced induction...

Looks like that mystery is solved... My 2015 GT premium also has vacuum/boost. There was a thread on this a couple days ago and people were wondering why there was no boost gauge on some models. Seems to be removed after 2015... Why it's in a GT, I don't really know lol.

The only model that should come with a boost gauge is the EcoBoost as it`s the only Forced Induction engine.

Naturally Aspirated engines can`t create Boost (or intake pressure) therefore only have a Vacuum gauge.

This is basic stuff, folks! C`mon.....

Yet some GTs still come with the boost gauge...

I think they know that they don't create boost without FI. They are wondering WHY the boost gauge is there and WHAT is the cut off for which models have it.

 

[brandonalberd]

Correct, just curious why it was available in a 2015, and not in a 2016. May've just been something they removed. Would help now, obviously

Weird. Y'all bought those cars new? Because I know some people swap out the gauges on their GTPP to the EB cluster when they go FI.

My 2015 GTPP Premium has only vacuum, no boost.

I bought mine used with 9K miles. Believe he bought his new. His is a 2015 Premium Non-PP, mine is a 2016, same model. Not sure what the deal is then! I plan on doing the EcoBoost PP Gauges. Requires re-pinning the APIM ( believe that's what is it ) but I've yet to come across a good deal on the dash plate and gauges so.

The center gauge pack is part of the performance package. Since his is an auto / non-PP he would have originally had no center gauges. His boost gauge must have been swapped in.

[MENTION=22217]MRose[/MENTION] again, i'm speaking on the gauges in the center of the speedometer, and RPM gauge, not above the radio. He runs a Lund NGauge there, that's it.

His car actually displays Vacuum/Boost in the center " Track Apps Gauges " I guess you could say, mine shows only Vacuum.

Mine shows boost/vac in the center display. 2015 5.0 auto premium.
