Boost Pressure/Boost Gauge

[Damthorjr]

Recently installed the Livernois tune on my 16 Edge Sport. Was curious if anyone decided to run a boost gauge on their Edge after tuning (or untuned) and which one. Also was curious as to if anyone knew what the boost Pressure is that the 2.7 pushes as far as PSI from the factory. I can't seem to find anywhere what the factory numbers are.

I've seen a couple of posts showing an Edge with a boost (+ 1 other) gauge mounted in an A-pillar housing.  If you really need to watch boost all the time that might be an option.  Another way to go is simply to display boost (and whatever data you want) on your phone screen.  If you have an Android phone take a look at Torque Pro.  You can set up multiple screens to display any data being processed by the vehicle from boost to fuel use, temperatures, voltages, time and much more.
Below is an example of my normal home screen but a second screen shows trip data (time, fuel, cost, speed etc) and on it goes.   If you're an iOS fan there are probably similar apps.
So, pic one is my normal screen, pic two is someone else's just to show how crazy you can get.  Note he has a boost gauge set up along with everything else and you can do all that with the simplest of OBDII readers plus the Torque Pro app (think it's about $5).  Of course if you want you can just have one giant boost gauge on a screen.

Edit to add: According to Wikipedia Ford's 2.7L Ecoboost engine sees 15-16psi of boost in stock form.

It's a great little app. I've been using it on my Mustang for years, primarily to monitor boost, Intake air temp (IAT1) and intake air temp after the intercooler (IAT2).

This thread inspired me to set up a vehicle profile for my Nautilus.
