Boost gauge is only available on Lariat or high trim levels.....so everyone that bought an Ecoboost XLT is out of luck.

I really don't see why Ford can't give us one on the XLT's, it just seems silly not to have a boost gauge on any turbocharged vehicle, let alone a +50k msrp truck.

I'very been using an old Droid RAZR running the Torque app and a Bluetooth ODB dongle.

A better reason to buy a tuner like the Livewire TS, but yea really you would think they would put that on all of their ecoboost engines.

It is possible it is there just not activated. Would be cool to find out. I am not an F150 owner. Are the clusters the same style or different that have them versus the ones that don't?

Clusters are different but I bet you can hookup a lariat cluster and activate the feature. I've seen a thread on here that did this successfully but not sure if the boost gauge part works.
