The only reason I can see for a boost gauge is to tell if your boost fooler is working. It can be helpful if you are trying to save fuel. More boost equals more fuel. I guess it could be used to spot problems with your turbo.

Once you start adding performance parts, it is a good tool to monitor your progress and also turbo/system health. It can at least help you determine problems if they arise. For the mechanical group, its also a good tuning tool.

Personally I like Isspro. I had AM and they were good too, just the older models didn't have very good lighting IMHO..

The lower your boost is, the better mileage you get. You can monitor the boost gauge, adjust your driving a little, and save some fuel.
