boost gauge in the instrument cluster?

[Joemomma22]

How the heck do i keep seeing people with boost guages on their dashes?

I have a PP so my boost guage physical and above the sync screen. does that mean i dont get the ability to have a boost gauge as one of my "apps"

When you see it say boost/vacuum in the dash hit right on the steering wheel like you would to change a station on the radio. It should show up then.

Pp cars have the gauge in the dash instead of the digital gauge in the cluster. There is no option for it in the gauge cluster itself.

Ah okay thanks for clearing that up. There you have it OP

WHY!? the digital one is so much easier to see lol. and just cool to have too. im not sure i understand why the remove an option thats simply software oriented. kinda bogus no?

I agree and have no idea why they don't have it in the dash on the pp cars.

Its a miracle no ones "hacked" one in

Has anyone since this experimented with adding the gauge to the instrument cluster in addition to keeping the physical gauges? I've got a PP GT with a procharger and the Ecoboost gauges in the center for "a" boost reading, but I'd like to get it in the center instruments as well.

Indeed, I'm surprised we haven't seen people hacking the various computer systems on this car. I'm no programmer or auto systems engineer, so maybe I'm underestimating the difficulty (I have no clue how hard accessing this stuff is). But I'm surprised someone hasn't tried, especially since lots of people have been begging for a digital speedometer option in the center display.

Of course, it would be nice if Ford would offer a firmware update that could add some of these features, but I'm not exactly holding my breath. :(

Maybe Ford could give us a firmware update at the same time they give us Android Auto for Sync 3 (as promised), or when they release the mythical Ford Performance Tune.

I'm gonna guess it could be because they don't want to deal with customers wanting to know why they don't read EXACTLY the same either from parallax, calibration of the physical gauge needle, lag of same, etc..

I have a paxton kit on my car ( non pp auto) and that boost gauge on the cluster dont read over 2 psi, not sure if something is needed to make it work. Is somebody here reading boost with this? Because mine isn't working above 2 psi.
