    Cascadia gurus, does anyone know where I can connect an after-market boost gauge to the intake side of the DD13? Dang, it's such a great truck I can't believe it doesn't come standard.

    There is boost gauge in the dash menu. I drove one that had it. all you do is scroll thru the small digital display in the cluster.
