Not sure if you saw my post here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...ml#post6771151
This gauge is a single 2" round OBD2 one that reports all PCM monitored functions (boost included for your PSD)...you will need to get a separate pyro sensor BUT you can simply feed that into one of the two available analog inputs to display that as well.
My personal preference is a singe low mounted pod. I know many on here have the full 4 gauge A-pillar mount...but my taste was just one single that I can monitor much more than just a specific function. Plus this one has the ability to read and reset engine codes.
I didn't feel like reposting all that information...so take a look at post #34 in the above thread for pictures and another link for much more information.
Here's a quick photo
Good luck,
Joe.

$239 for the gauge and the mounting pods range in price from $30-50 if I remember right depending on if you want the A Pillar like I have or a steering column mount, etc...then $10 or so for a can of paint...you'll have ~$300 by the time you are done for this single gauge...but remember it does all the functions in one simple gauge.
The kicker may be for you diesel guys in that you will still have to buy a Pyro sensor and amplifier...but I think you can get that at Aeroforcetech.com as well...but I think you will have $170 in the sensor and amplifier if I remember right...I believe all that info is on his website.
Since I have a V10...all my functions are available as I don't need and EGT monitor.
I have no idea what a full set of 4 analog gauges would run with all the sensors...so you'd have to compare that price to this price and decide if this single gauge that does all the functions of the 4 PLUS more is worth the trade...
The second link in the thread above will take you to Aeroforce's website...aeroforcetech.com
Hope this helps.
