The Aeroforce gauge just plugs into your diagnostic port under your dash. No wires to splice & no hoses to tap. It will also fit in a roush pod.

You would need to confirm with Aeroguage but it looks like the CNF Series Interceptor gauge is the one. They also offer custom faces & bezels. Luv2 cheat installed one in his truck & can give more info than I could. Although when I can install one this will be the one I will do. Here is his info... https://www.f150forum.com/members/luv2cheat-134265/

Here is a good write up on one install. https://www.f150forum.com/f38/instal...decals-156935/

As a former diesel guy, can I offer a suggestion. I've always been a fan of mechanical gauges. I run a mechanical gauge for oil pressure in my Cobra and had mechanical boost in my Superduty. It is the most accurate way. When the gauge boost, it's because there is boost. If it doesn't or reads wrong then there is definitely a problem. That said, I would suggest when you drill and tap the intake pipe for the fitting, run a stainless braided line in the engine compartment and keep the plastic stuff for the inside.
I would add exhaust temp as well if you going rounded them as tools to determine engine conditions.
Good luck and post some pix when your done.

A mechanical gauge is what I prefer as well.

In the photo in post #5 tells the story. Use a universal vacuum "T" and install into the inside (of the two) vacuum line that exits the vacuum main chamber - where you see 4 hose clamps. Run the gauge line where you wish through the firewall.

You most definitely will want to shield the plastic vacuum gauge line that is in the engine bay (DAMHIK!)

Everything will work just fine.

Thanks alot. Im def going with the mechanical gauge. A. It def seems more accurate and is reccomended more. B. Ill save like $150 by not buying the digital one even though that one has alot more options on what to monitor
