Default Blown 5.0’s...am I the only one that didn’t know this?

Bored on a road trip and started flipping through the gauge menus. First...I didn’t know you could replace the trans temp gauge with the boost gauge on the cluster and second I had no idea the boost gauge becomes functional with a blower.
Why didn’t y’all tell me these things?

Wait what? I knew about the boost gauge but thought that it only worked with the EcoBoost. I'll have to check this out.

I enabled mine with ForScan it works great just wish it didn't say "Turbo" above it.

Ha, I just assumed it was only active on the Ecoboost trucks, guess I'll have to pull it up.

I though you had to make a Forscan change to see them...Maybe not.

Added these Banks Power Gauges today. They are super configurable with one minor flaw in the way they mount, using an Autometer steering column bezel . The SD card for data logging interferes with the steering wheel so It's possible to break the sd card off in the gauge. I'll try to come up with some kind of fix for it though. Now I can see what is making my IAT so high and measure the effect...

I'm going to start with the air box the way it "seals" to the hood is joke.

They also don't block that much of the factory gauges, it just the angle the picture is taken.

Nice, Mike. You can't take a pic with a single lens and show the view you see with 2 eyes. I have tried. You see more than what the pic shows.

After enabling this today on the way to Houston I found out that I don’t like that it doesn’t show the actual number above the gauge. It’s just a 0-20 gauge.
