    I drive a 2011 386 Pete with an MX13. It only has 4 gauges on the right side, suspension load, air & fuel filter, and DEF. My old truck had the full gauge setup on the right and I miss it. I was wondering what's involved in adding a couple gauges such as manifold PSI and possibly pyro temp? Do these things come pre-setup, like plug n play, or would I have to go more in depth?

    Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along but I'm pretty sure in a truck that new it would be as simple as plugging in the gauge. I think that truck would be multiplexed. Just buy the gauge from dealer make a hole and plug it in. I think with the multiplex wiring the guage wiring is all the same, you just have to plug it in to the proper gauge.
    And this is also assuming your engine is setup to monitor these functions. Boost pressure im sure it is, egts I dont know, would have to look and see if there is a probe

    Pretty much these days. Shouldn't even matter where you plug it into with multiplexing (I say probably but OP should verify that first lol). Probably need to have the gauge enabled by someone with the diagnostic software.

    Boost you can go factory gauge, use CECU and multiplexed jumper wiring. Pyro would be aftermarket.

    First question, has your exhaust been "modified"?
