Any new/good options for a boost gauge?

[SilverSlugger]

Really wanting a way to look at boost. Did some searches and haven't found too much, or anything that has caught my eye. Has anyone come across ways to do this. I'd love for a company like stage 3 to make a nice kit with an A-pillar design but so far it looks like that doesn't exist.

Not even sure if an ODB2 app like Torque can pull the boost data from the computer. So a gauge might be necessary.

I haven't gone through all the threads but there are some options s here-https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/google-search/?q=Boost+gauge

Torque can display the boost.

Thanks I checked out a lot of these threads... If I'm being 100% honest I didn't like anything I saw, hoping that someone smarter than myself came up with a new idea or way.

I am mounting the gauge pod below in the dash tray, it comes from Autometer. I have purchased a vacuum/boost, oil pressure and volt gauges.

For the boost gauge I purchased a tee that goes in series with one of the vacuum lines on the manifold. This kit doesn't require cutting any of the stock lines. I will be teeing off the oil pressure switch on the oil filter adapter.

I purchased GlowShift gauges because of the LED back lighting set to white looks most integrated with the factory dash.

I had hoped to integrate the upfitter switches that currently reside on the dash but the pedestal on the gauge pod is not high enough. If I ever have a need for the up fitter switch's I will find a place for them.

Just waiting on a warm day to get the installation done.

Now this I'm intrigued about! I hope this works well for you as I could see myself going down this path.

I have not seen a OBD2 app that does NOT pull the boost data along with many other readouts. Only suggestion I'll make is don’t cheap out on your OBD2 reader. Cheap ones will be slow and glitchy. Spend the money on a good one and use it for Forscan too.

This on top the dash where that recessed spot is would be cool. Put aux switches on it.

I want to do the exact 3 gauges boost, oil pressure and volts. I'm curious how yours turned out.

I’m using Dash Commander on my iPhone and a OBDLink MX+ Nice thing about that combo is you can setup software on your phone to pull in any OBD reading and make a gauge to show current activity. It also is a scanner and you can use Forscan lite with it.

Haven't installed them yet. Had to order some fittings which are in now but it has been a little cold for me to want to spend a lot of time in the garage working on it. I will post pictures when they are installed.
