Unfortunately no, you have to add an aftermarket boost gauge. The stock gauge is not a real boost gauge either, it's a calculated value masquerading as the real thing.

isn't there a formula that you can input in the gauge for calculating boost. Will play with mine whenever they get here. I know it advertises checking boost so if the car has a MAP sensor it should just be a simple formula with the voltage slope.

With the Aeroforce gauge, you can input slope/intercept values for the analog inputs only - not for the PIDS it reads through the OBD-II port.

I was hoping I wouldnt have to get a gauge and could read from the Dashdaq. Shelby's 3 gauge dash pod looks good but I dont want to put any holes in the dash.

Might want to try speed of sound. They have a nice dash pod that requires no drilling and looks very nice. Then you have the Zpod by Zack which is also a nice piece

I went with a couple Aeroforce gauges and I felt I had to go with the additional boost kit and the oil pressure kit to get those additional readings. I can't wait for them!

Yeah I went with the oil pressure, fuel pressure, and boost kit. Soon as the gauges get here i'll plug them in and see whats up.

Are your gauges 2 5/8's or 2 1/16?

I made a 3 pod

looks awesome. If I wanted 3 pod I would know where to go. Can you keep the map lights with the 3 pod?
