imo boost gauge is vgery needed on a mapped car, then you know of any faults instantly!  :happy2:

....Exactly! I was going to reply that because my boost leak was relatively slight and because the ECU was compensating for the loss (hence high % requests shown in my data logging), the fault was hardly noticeable on the gauge. It only became slightly noticeable when I started looking at it extremely closely.

If you have a major boost leak/problem and obviously a major loss of power, then the gauge is extremely useful in identifying the power loss as boost related.

^ I think i better add this to my Troubleshoot thread - Thanks Steve aka Phil :happy2:
