Can you provide more information? I'm not familiar with the Supercharged version of our cars, but I'm sure we have someone here who is, but a little more info would help.
- Does the gauge respond at all?
- If so, how does it react?

Our instrument clusters are known for stepper motors failing in them. It could be that has failed OR maybe a sensor that feeds the data to the boost gauge. Just some thoughts.
