Ecoboost, boost gauge install....(pics)

It's just a universal one I found at a local part store. It wasn't even close to fitting when I started. I did a buch of trimming and reshaped it with a heat gun to make it almost fit. That was the best I could do with it, was make it almost fit. But I'm running it until I can find something better. :o

Great write-up and pics!! Thanks for sharing
I wonder if somebody or even Ford will intgrate boost into the heads-up display. It currently only reads trans temp (unless there's more?). I know the computer reads boost, so why didn't they allow us multiple options to watch or select in the display?

Today I got pillar pod installed. I ended up buying a universal cheapy SunPro brand from the local Advance Auto parts.....I took a heat gun to it and did some serious stretching, bending, molding, shaping etc.... It came out ok.....not perfect by any stretch but decent. I will use it until someone comes out with a nice one made just for our trucks.....
Also shot another vid of it. This was from a 60 mph freeway roll to about 90 mph... I was having a hard time with the lighting on the camera because it was so bright outside. I think you can see the just of it though...

Hopefully this thread will help some of you guys that had thoughts of installing a boost gauge...

That doesn't look too bad but you're gonna have a hard time seeing out the windshield!
I wonder why the ECM is dropping so much boost? It almost seems like the truck was designed to make a certain output and once it get there it just holds it. Really makes me wonder what a custom tune could unleash...
