Question About OEM Premium Gauge Cluster

[Evil Minion]

It's not an Auto thing, it's just a 2015 non-PP thing, period.

I thought only PP cars had the center gauges? What other variants have it?

Wheels aside, how the heck can you identify a PP car at a glance? Dang, thought I had it figured out

It's the display between the RPM gauge and MPH gauge. The one that also shows average fuel, tire pressure, voltage, etc.

PP is only way to get the two gauges.

Sorry, mean Auto Non-PP, but nice to know

Does the manual non-PP omit it? I figured it would be in there.

Did the 50th Aniv. package come with center gauges? It was basically the PP with an automatic transmission.

My 2016 Non-PP Premium 6SPD does not have it.

2015 manual base GT has the boost/vac gage.

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.....

No one is questioning engine dynamics, or its ability to create boost. The question is why the 2015 Mustang GT has a boost/vacuum? We like to think that Ford adding a factory digital boost gauge is their way of saying "We gave you the platform, go forth and make it fast". Unfortunately, I think it is the fact that the 2015 was the first year of the new platform. It is easier to make one universal cluster for the premium cars GT and Ecoboost alike.

Okay so question answered.

2015 manual gt base has it
2015 auto non-pp has it

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 my car new. It has the boost/vacuum gauge. I bet you have a late build date car. That would explain the difference.

I know man... I like to build the topic up then drop knowledge like a boss! LOL.

On a side note, if anyone with a '16/'17 is near Indianapolis and wants a '15 cluster with the boost/vac, I'm willing to trade since I'd much rather have just a vacuum gage.

 

[Dntalman]

It may be an auto thing. Not sure. Thus far that's what it seems to be. Not entirely sure it's accurate with aftermarket boost.

It may be a auto thing.. Mine is accurate with what VMP claims my car should make with the pulley I run.

 

[brandonalberd]

Need to just invest in either an nGauge or Roush Boost Gauge.

 

[Dntalman]

My NGauge is great.. Lund has a boost box that works well with the NGauge..
