Generally if you block or close one vent the others blow a little stronger.

I did the eco-boost guage as I wanted to retain the OEM appearance, plus the boost guage is mostly for passenger entertainment since when it's showing boost I'm too busy driving the beast to pay attention to it....OBTW it isn't exactly plug and play as you have to enable it in the PCM with FORScan.
That’s interesting because on my Freind’s Whipple 2018 he just swapped it out and it worked. My hellion 2019 it only read vacuum. I assumed it was in how the strategies were tuned and the little bit of feedback I could find seemed to support the turbo coyote cars wouldn’t show boost do to it being inferred/estimated and not actually measured. Im sure on cars not originally equipped with the gauges you would need forscan.

You can do the P3 vent gauge. It doesn't block all of the air flow, has connection for an analog boost sensor input, and can tie directly to an ethanol content/temp. flex fuel sensor (among many other datapoints)

Thanks for posting. I like this a lot. There are a lot of options with it. Also like that you can hardwire it instead of using the obd2 port. I'll be looking into this one.
