I think what Soulezoo was getting at is that you don't want a gauge/monitor that simply uses the stock boost sensor. That sensor is being "fooled" by the module/programmer and won't read accurately. As you've already found out too, they don't have a high enough range to read accurately with a bigger single or twin turbos.

No reading from the OBDII port is a no-no. And Quadzilla now has an adapter of sorts that allows you to use mechanical methods of reading boost with the Commander. Best of both worlds to me.....
