Question F150 Ecoboost Turbo Gauge

Hey guys, I was thinking about installing a Defi Turbo gauge for my new truck. My question is, will that void the warranty? Thanks, Robert.

Only if you do a bad install and damage something.

In others words, do it right and you will be fine...

It's a simple install and no I would not think it would effect warranty. I have had mine in for service many times since I installed mine. Only thing you might get is a that looks bada**, or yeah where did you get that.

Alright I'll have somebody put one on the right way. What are some good looking gauges to get? Maybe something that would match the mph, rpm, etc gauges? I don't want a gauge that looks cheap.

I have the Roush Racing boost gauge with Roushs vent pod gauge holder. I think it looks good, and it gets the job done.

Kenneth, that is a cool looking set up! Can you send me the link for that specific kit? I will order one from there. Thanks for showing.

Where did you tap into for the boost reading? Would you mind putting a picture up of the location? Thanks!

Here's a pic. It is a easy install; hardest part is routing the vacuum line through the firewall. The gauges is Roush P/N 421247. The vent pod is Roush P/ N 421235. You need to purchase about 12 feet of regular automotive vacuum line due to the line in the kit is to short to route correctly.

For any around south Georgia I would be more than willing to help.
