twiztedsix Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Just got my ultra-gauge in the mail today and hooked it up. Just went for a quick spin saw 16.5 lbs of boost. It has tons of other guages to choose from too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RRF985 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 You need to upload it to a site like Photobucket and then link it. You can email it to me if you want and i'll post it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I've just been using the Torque app with a bluetooth OBD2 adapter. Works perfect for me (I have a Galaxy S3) and there's no vacuum lines to run or anything. I've seen 20psi as a peak, drops to about 16psi on the top end.

bluspikez Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I've just been using the Torque app with a bluetooth OBD2 adapter. Works perfect for me (I have a Galaxy S3) and there's no vacuum lines to run or anything. I've seen 20psi as a peak, drops to about 16psi on the top end. My guess is the 20psi was an anomaly - Ford has said that peak boost for the 2.0L (in the Focus ST, too, where it has "overboost" programming included, so I'd expect a bit lower from the Fusion 2.0L) is 16psi. Here's some Ford marketing propaganda including it: http://media.ford.com/images/10031/Focus_ST_Ecoboost_I4_HR.pdf That being said, the highest I've seen when using Torque is around 12psi. Guess I haven't hammered hard enough on the accelerator to see anything higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camride Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I tested more on the way home from work, I saw 20psi peak again with lots of times around 18-19psi. So either the Torque app isn't reading the OBD2 data right or the 2.0l Ecoboost in the Fusion is tuned different than the Focus ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These gauges read off of MAP, so you have to calibrate it to zero with the key on/engine off. fyi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I see around 22in/Hg (around -11psi) at idle, in park (IIRC), through my adapter and the Torque app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check that tonight whenever I'm able to leave work (stuck on a support call) and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
