Default Boost Gauge

Why don't our EcoBoost engines come with a boost gauge?

Which truck/dash display do you have? The 8" display has a boost guage while the 4" doesn't. I have the 4" and would also like a boost guage, but oh well...

Swapping out the instrument cluster is a 10 min job.

I guess that I don't know what display I have. Aren't they all the same?

Nope. Does it look like this? If so that's the 8". If it doesn't you have the 4"

In "Configure MyView" there is a setting to switch the trans temp gauge with the turbo boost gauge. Its the gauge in the upper right hand corner.

youre in luck! Take the instructions from asridave to enable it. If you want the pressure readout above the guage you can enable that with forscan.

Really? I must've missed that one. I know you can get the temps, but you can get the boost pressure to show a number as well?

could have swore I saw that somewhere but might be mistaken. I've got the 4" display so I'm out of luck either way. Sorry about that.
