Boost PSI level? Anyone install vacuum / boost guage?

[jalbano2]

It's Torque Pro with OBDLink LX
I downloaded THIS pid list from Focus RS forum. Half of them don't work. I still haven't got the oil temp to work. It's inferred from water temp anyway. Still cool to play with.

Did you get the oil pressure to work?

It already has a boost gauge and you should be able to read it with a good obd2 scanner. Boost pressure is one of the critical pieces of information the computer needs to properly set the ignition.

Come to think of it, any boost gauge you buy probably just reads the obd data and displays it.

Would be nice if Goggle allowed you to run torque on AA. Can then have any gauge you want.

I have a package deal for THE BEST GAUGE with an OEM quality vent mount.

Banks Supergauge can display up to 8 PIDS out of over 70 to choose from. Fully customizable from colors to gauge displays. Paired with the Aeroforce vent mount, it’s all the info you need.

Interesting. The highest boost pressure I've seen so far is 8 psi but I'm not too hard on the engine. Maybe I need to try harder. lol

ScanGauge 3 is a nice do-it-all OBD option, pricey for sure, but a quality part & company.

Very rarely do great quality and low prices go together.

I like to think in terms of "value", vs just cost, but I get what you're saying.

No. Torque pro's description says it shows boost for vehicles that support MAP and MAF sensors. I guess the mav doesn't have those. Weird.

It does have a MAP sensor. On the front of the intake manifold. It would have to have one to measure boost pressure.

With TorquePro, running 93 on a stock EB FX4 AWD, I've hit 18.3-20 PSI. Tiny turbo, so not crazy to make a higher number like that.

What’s interesting about ford and turbos is 95% of the time, the engine is running with 0 boost/vacuum conditions. My F150 with 3.5l 5StarTuning runs maybe 5 lbs or less at 70 miles an hr….at 60 it is 0 or less manifold pressure

Yes, because in normal driving conditions you're going to be pulling vacuum and not making any boost. Even under reasonable acceleration, you wouldn't be making peak boost. Only if you're really getting on it.

That was my assumption. But I would like to have the gage, either digital or analog, visible in the dash area. I'd also like to have gear selection displayed, which would also be obd available data. Just looking for a reasonable solution.

I think you can use for scan go into the Ipc and option to change the setting to see what gear the truck is in.
