Default Gauges for Ecoboost

Looking to install a Boost gauge and a A/F wideband gauge for my 13 Ecoboost. Who here has installed them already, or may have input on what brand would best work for the Eco? And if I didn't want to put then in my air vent or side dash pod, where else could be applicable? -

Wideband is factory equipment.
Android device + elm Bluetooth + torque app = done

I made my own using a programmer mount and a custom aluminum plate. Check my garage for pics.

I like the dual gauges looks good. You must have pretty strong air flow on the passenger side vents :-)

I did the AEM digital boost gauge in red because I liked how the gauge trim matches ours pretty well and red is obviously spot on with 2013+ interiors to make it look almost like it is OEM.

I just installed my T-Stat last night again and when I was checking if I had any air in the system I cranked it up on Hi through the Vents only, and they flowed pretty well still. I will say, there was a little noise on the HI when flowing through the vents, but I have NEVER heard it before using Auto which is what I use 99.9999999% of the time.

that's good... i think you can manually crank the blowers louder than auto will ever take them so your set :-) nice work.

I believe the newer front 02 sensors are now a wideband vs the old narrow band so just log these PID's on a livewire or X4 to see what you have.

Trucks have a MAP sensor also I believe so should be able to log boost also.
