OBDII GAUGES FOR 14 ECOBOOST

I am looking for gauges for my 2014 XLT ecoboost that will monitor boost, Water Temp, Oil Pressure, and volts. The dash gauges are fine but I do not like the way they are basically idiot lights. at least I can go into the screen select gauges and get a digital temp read out.
I looked at scangauge, I have a scanner but it does not read boost and it is hard to read while driving. Any suggestions ? I did see one that was in a gauge pod but they just talked about the pod not the gauge.

I bought an Edge Monitor CST I think, for my 2013 Eco which plugs into the OBDll and can show more than you could imagine. It has places for 7 things to display the way I set it up. Turbo pressure was intake manifold pressure and there was no exhaust temp without an addition but there is cylinder head temp. I monitored volts, intake pressure , coolant temp, head temp, spark advance (very important with an Eco), etc. and was very happy with the product. I removed it when I sold the truck for my 2018. At this time they don't have a down load for the 18 yet but expect soon. I don't have my truck yet so no big deal.
This is NOT a tuner, you can get one of those if you wish, but just a monitor. The tuner can monitor also. Neither are cheap but I like their products.

SCT Livewire TS+. Not only can you run tunes but it attaches to the windshield and have different gauge displays. I am currently displaying boost, voltage, intake temp and engine temp.

I use dash command and purchased the ford specific pack. It reads boost, volts, etc. It is easy to read when I put it in my phone mount near the air vent and the MFT screen.

which obdII dongle are you using?

I think I may go with dash command the with AERO when I get the funds. I can use dash command on both my Escape and my F150 but I really like the Aeros looks and function.

I use the Veepeak wifi version for my iPhone with dashcmd and then the scantool obdlink mx Bluetooth for forscan stuff. The scantool is better but Iphones have to use wifi 😢. I also have the f150 ecoboost towing dashboard for dashcmd

It is a dashboard option that the dashcmd app has. I don't know how to view them online but through the app you can select a bunch of different dashboards. Basically it changes what gauges are visible to view in real time. The f150 towing one allows for boost, coolant temp, knock/timing, mpg, speed (either gps or based on obd port), rpm, gear, and some others.

Those sound like just what I wanted to measure. They might also work on my Escape. I tow with both but now that I have my F150 I am not doing that very often. lol

Here is what the screen looks like. Tapping on the bars changes what they display.
