Boost Gauge?

Yes this is a dumb question but, what is this boost gauge everyone keeps talking about? I know what a turbo gauge looks like and there is not one in my 03' CC Fx4. I have never looked inside another 6.0's cab before, am I missing mine? My truck is completely loaded, w/ buckets & moonroof, I figured it had everything, please advise.

On my 05 it is directly under the speedo from the factory. The boost guage tells you how much air preassure your turbo is forcing into your engine. If you dont have one from the factory the Bullydog Outlook monitor is a nice piece of equipment to have. We sell alot of them to people and you dont have to have a power tune in your truck to use it. It can be used alone.

The boost gauge was added in 2005 MY. It's not there in the 2003 and 2004 models.

Do you guys recommend having one, or is it just something else to take your eyes off of the road? I have an 04 and have not missed having one since I've never had one. I figure if you have your foot to the floor you had better not have your eyes anywhere but ahead of you.
