Boost Gauge

[wildman4x4nut]

Just got my 2006 Crew Cab and am wondering how good the boost gauge is?
I am moving from a Dodge Ram2500 with a Edge Juice w/Attitude.

When it comes time for me to put gauges on my truck do I need another boost gauge? Since I have the big handle on my pillar I will have to mount them above the rearview mirror, and then on the dash I guess. On a Ford what do I want to be watching?

Boost
EGT
Trans Temp

Fuel Pressure? Is this an issue?
What else?

First,

I have an 06 F250 and the first thing I'd recommend as would most of the members on here would be a set of analog gauges: boost, egt, and trans temp which actually mount OVER your handle pod. Check out autometer or talk to Raul with Stealth automotive, he'll hook you up with some. Then get yourself a custom tuned SCT X3 tuner, I think you can get it through him too. You could get yourself a livewire, although I dont have one so I don't know much about that, but its digital gauges as well as capable of holding custom tunes. In any case, get yourself some custom tunes with Eric at innovative diesel. At least I know they are legit.
As for the stock boost gauge, mine syncs nicely with my pod gauge. I still like having one on my pod, bigger, easier to read and close to my EGT gauge.

My uncle has a 06 dodge 2500 with an intake, exhaust, superchips and his truck really isn't quicker than mine after I got my SCT. He also runs stock tires and I have 37".:burnout

Also, I haven't heard about too many fuel pressure problems in the 06' and later powerstrokes. I'm sure it's possible, but it isn't my main concern. If you want to really put an end the main 6.0L issues, get headstuds and egr delete, then you'll be golden.
