There has been discussion of changing out both turbos and wastegates for high performance upgrades

No, the answer is to think before you post.

You could have asked if there was a way to display that info instead of complaining about not having it.
Then the responses would have been different.
Far to many people come on just to bash.... sometimes they get bashed back.

We have no idea what you drive.

This is the first gas truck I've ever had with turbos, I didn't know that. I do know with my 93PRX tune, I've been a little over 20psi boost per my gauge.

It was a very simple question, if you don't know why some have a gauge and others don't, I guess you shouldn't reply at all, I certainly wouldn't ,....

Yah, I completely agree with you. I asked a question in the oil section...and GOT so many bogus answers or tips or suggestions...that it was insulting. OBTW: If you seek oil advice from fte, they will direct you to SEARCH bob the oil guy site 9 out of 10 times. So prepare for about 10 or 24hrs of search time, because that site is absolutely terrible!! lol Also, make sure to brush up on your grammar...as that will be critical in the responses. Never use the word "best" in any question either, because it is always "best" to who?? How? where? etc etc etc.

It's interesting that you have two temp gauges. Congrats on your '17 f150!! This 2ndGEN 3.5L Ecoboost w/10 spd trans is an absolute BEAST!!

One is engine coolant the other is transmission temp. Not a big deal. My plain Jane XLT has them both.

Ok...yah, I now see that it has the two gauges. I had never seen the gauge cluster for a 2015+ xlt model...until now (thanks GOOGLE)...

I would think that the instant fuel mileage gauge does about the same thing, just no PSI of boost.

Don't have a Eco but on my diesel truck the egt gauge is more important than the boost gauge, it has both.

If you want to check out the owners manual, it can be found on the Ford.com website.

Yes, the mileage graph is very helpful since my lifted 35x12.5 tires get a solid 10.9 to 11.5 MPG,.....

Do you know if the speedometer has been calibrated for your tire size? If not, the computer will show the mileage as being lower than it actually is.
