I think these days will all the electronic ways of getting boost reading (albeit perhaps not as finitely accurate as an actual guage), they are a bit moot.

If I had the Highline cluster I'd go with a fiscon to show all the ECU stuff.
I'm currently using the Torque android app via OBD2 bluetooth, works quite well, haven't Fully tested it yet though.

Where do you get the app from? Is it on iPhones?  :confused:

Not sure if it's on iOS, here's the Android app link to cross ref. in the Apple store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.prowl.torque&hl=en

You will need a OBD2 Bluetooth adaptor too, this is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006JJZVQE/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
