So does the stock boost gauge work?

[mauleed]

I don't have forced induction and don't plan to any time soon. I'm just curious.

Does the middle of the dash vacuum/boost gauge work? Is it accurate? Do you guys use it?

Do you mean putting the boost gauge in a GT from an Ecoboost?

No, I mean the gauge between the tach and the speedo. There's an option to bring up a digital vacuum/boost gauge. I was just wondering if anyone actually uses it when they go aftermarket with forced induction on a 5.0.

On a GT? I thought that was only on the Ecoboost.

It does, but it's not very accurate.

How does one get this gauge to come p?

Not available on PP cars. I swaped in the EB gauge cluster and it's close enough.

I have a premium, so not sure if everyone has it. It's under the gauges option in the display.

Yea I got a PP GT and I have hunted for a boost gauge and none to be found. I even connected my Dash Dyno which reads all the stuff from the ODBII connector and can't find boost any where.

I have it on an Auto non PP car...

But its not very accurate.

The factory eboost gauge works just fine in place of the bad gauge.
