HOW TO: Swap PP gauges into standard model

[GT_MTL]

Im waiting to see if the oil temp gauge is plug n play on an 18+ GT.

I'll tell you, mine are on their way. I understood that it just needs a tune. We'll see !

From reading the 3 main threads my understanding is that no tune is required for 18+ GT models, however I saw no 2018+ models where the owner installed the GT350 Gauge set.

Did you buy from an Ebay seller? The main seller I see lists horrible blurry pictures and if I am doing the swap I want a dash without damage. I see a seller in Ebay that offers a few different Carbon Fibre options for $799 ughhh

Yes I got it from Ebay for a fair price, because it has a scratch. But I will wrap them into carbon fiber vinyl anyway so ... Should be there around Dec. 14th.

Its pretty well documented here, but just to add one more data point, my 2021 GT 300A AT had the plug already, and both gauges worked without any forscan programming.

Very nice. Where did you get the parts?

If your car has MyColor double check the gauges do. Not sure if they made them both ways to save a few nickels.

I bought GT350 gauges for my PP to replace vacuum with oil temp. I knew they were white only. But decided I really wanted those gauges to match the other lighting in the car.

Here's the update.
On my base 2018 GT Premium + Ford Performance Power Pack 1 w/ tune & throttle body :
- I checked the pressure sensor and it has 3 wires,
- I have the plug behind the screen,
- Both oil pressure AND oil temperature are working without any tune.

I found strange though that the oil pressure gauge goes to 100psi then drops to 26 psi, when starting cold (62 F) :




It increases when accelerating and there is really something happening around 3000 rpm , the pressure suddenly increases more (I got almost 80psi). Read something on 2018+ change in oil control valve.

Thanks. They are a no go to me after my last order but I am sure another dealer will be close if I buy new. If I do this Mod I will most likely get used and do a custom wrap.

I have a 2018 GT Premium and it was plug and play. I picked up the Gauges for $45 on eBay and followed posts on this thread. Plug was behind the screen as noted. Oil Pressure and Vacuum worked right away. My color as well. Now if I could only find the right Performance Pack Dash Bezel. These part numbers are all over the place and looking them up online seems to lead you stuck with OEM ford part drawings and vague descriptions. Plus, some of these Bezels are outrageously priced.

Does anyone know if 2-1/16 gauges will fit in the factory dash holes and if so, how did they secure them? Thanks in advance.

Well, after a few weeks of researching and trying to find a performance pack dash bezel, I ended up getting one on eBay with the gauges, headlight switch and two side trim pieces. Wasn’t what I would have liked to paid, but better than some costs out there. Came out great. Now I just have to sell the other PP gauges and my old dash to hopefully recoup some cost.
