Default update ECM to monitor EGT, boost, fuel pressure?

Can the Dodge ECM be updated to monitor EGT, boost & fuel pressure? The OBDII codes are there, so if Dodge included the connectors or some jacks then it should be possible.

I'd like to get EGT, boost, fuel pressure monitored by the ECM then get an iPod/Android app to monitor OBDII parameters and not have separate gauges.

Thoughts??

boost can be read by factory map
however from factory our trucks sadly do not have a egt probe or a pressure sensor..
so you would either have to get gauges or a tuner..

i went with an edge juice cts cause i was in the same boat as you are.
i had to buy 4 gauges (auto) and it was not cheap. i ended up going w/ the cts cause it cleans up the clutter of 3 gauges and it also allowed me to have a chip.. kill 2 birds w/ one stone

Is there a plug for reading boost so the factory map can read it?

Thanks, that is one of the routes I've been looking at.

If your going to monitor boost to do any tunes or such then you should monitor Fuel Pressure and EGT for sure.... I also was in same boat. I dropped the $ on an Quadzilla Adrenaline with Pulse. Has gauges and alarms for all those plus fuel pressure too... Oh and 10 stages of power!

Thank you, do you like it? Do you get a noticeable amount of power? Have you dyno'ed it? How is the Max Mileage feature? I'm getting a little over 20 mpg.
