HI all! First my ride, 2020 F150 2.7 Ecoboost STX black appearance package, I was searching a lot of sites, but can't find a guide to follow to install an aftermarket boost gauge for this truck specifics year, I know I need Turbosmart BRA, I already have it, apart I order also the fuse adapters to make things correctly don't like to install loosed cables. if someone complete this task successfully any hint or advice are welcome, also if you have a link or guide that I can read going to be appreciate.

Thanks!

I have a CTS monitor that gives me many readings, and it just plugs into the OBD II port. Mine is showing me Boost in positive and negative values. There are many other things that can be monitored as well. It is pricey, but the simplicity of installation helps make it worthwhile.

Mine is not a tuner, only a monitor.

You also upgrade the cluster and be able to toggle between a transmission temp and boost gauge right on there.

SCT BDX


SCT GTX

Both are tuner modules plugged into the OBD2 port. Similar to the CTS unit rtball mentioned. You do not have to install a tune on a tuner unit but there are a lot of configurable info displays, and changes they support like tire diameter/gearing/idle RPM/rev limiter and several DTC functions. Maybe a different approach to vehicle management but much more useful than a vac-psi gauge. KM
