Boost Gauge on Digital Custer

[rtg]

Maybe be old news but finally got around to using Forscan to replace the Vac gauge with the Ecoboost Vac/Boost gauge. Great mod for post boost install.

Just did this mod also.. would like to know how accurate it is.. going to plug up an autometer during my dyno to compare both

Do you need to install the physical gauges to enable the digital one in the cluster? Or can I just use forscan by itself to enable this?

Forescan.

Just got mine back from having Sam Reeves program it to Bullitt configuration and added the boost gauge.... will be installing it this weekend with a gt350 steering wheel.

Quick question, I enabled my digital boost gauge which goes to Zero when I floor it (ProCharger) how do you read it? I think I'm missing something.

Mine's completely accurate (pics are hi-res, click to enlarge):

2017 MY here/Whipple tune. Autometer gauge on the right is mechanical boost/vacuum, attached directly to the intake manifold port, so it's legit. Agrees with the digital one.

That's awesome man. Yours is definitely different as mine only moves in the highlighted portion under VAC, won't go into boost. Maybe something to do with the digital cluster. I'm not sure.

Do you know if this is possible with the '18-up Performance Pack cars? How about actually installing the PP gauges from the Ecoboost? What all is needed to make it work?

18+ Unfortunately I have no experience with, so I am not sure if this works just the same on those model years.

2015-17 you can use the EcoBoost gauge pack in place of the GT's gauge pack and the boost will read. However, as others have noted, there is no MAP sensor and boost is inferred on these cars, so the accuracy of this reading is ENTIRELY dependent on how the tune in the car is set up. Whipple seems to do it like OEM where inferred boost is accurate to actual measured boost.

Some other tuners, this reading is completely inaccurate, however that does not mean the tune is wrong, there are more ways than one to tune for boost, but it will affect how this reading is displayed/inferred.

How accurate it is depends on how good your tune is

Hold up! How did you get that gauge to appear in your cluster? I thought that was only an eco-boost option or could be done with 2018+ with a digital cluster.

This might be a stupid question, any reason this may effect warranty?
