Are there any boost gauge set ups that are plug n' play? I have a 2018 GT Premium (non-performance pack) with a Roush stage 2, tuned with a smaller pulley. I have seen the set up where I can modify my 3 a/c vents to the performance pack gauge cluster. I do not know if the gauges will work by just plugging into the factory harness stuck behind the radio. Looked at the Glowshift 3 pod pillar gauge set-up but seems too cumbersome. I looked at the Raixom Vent housing multi gauge set-up, but there are good and bad reviews.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

Go on amazon and buy (OBDMONSTER ELM327 FORScan OBD2 USB Adapter for Windows

On youtube there are a few videos that show you how to upload to the dash the Boost/Vacuum feature. It's very easy to do and its a cool feature to have as for the accuracy, I hear that its darn close. When your gunning it those numbers change rapidly 😅

I did it myself and I am someone that pays to get things done, in other words - Not handy at all 🤦‍♂️

That's pretty cool and simple. Thanks :thumbsup:
It is bro. Super simple process. I was amazed that I got it done 😆 the hardest part was configuring the forscan and product key to the laptop. You gotta wait for the approval. Its also free once submitted. These cars should come with it stock. Keep in mind its under the gauge toggle on the dash. 👍🏁

Was fairly easy to do and it seems pretty accurate. I changed the Vacuum gauge to the Boost/Vacuum gauge from the Ecoboost using Fordscan. Best part is you can view it as a gauge or as digital read out so no guessing what kind of boost your making.

On my 2016 I have a Vacuum gauge that shows but it will not show boost. Not useful when running a supercharger.

That's why you get forscan and change it to the Vacuum/boost version of the gauge.
