Thanks for the info. I just didnt want to buy a gauge that specifically says that it measures turbo boost. As you can tell I dont know much about mechanics of a car. I just know the outside and some detailing stuff. Thanks for your help. Where did you get the 3 gauge pillar from?

its only writing on the gauge. most just say turbo because of the popularity of saying i have a turbo. if you look you can find gauges that say boost. thats all you need. like mentioned before boosted pressure is all the same.

Just my opinion...you would get a dual benefit if you were to buy a boost/vacuum gauge. That way you can monitor your engine vacuum, since engine vac. Is very important to engine performance and troubleshooting engine performance issues..example = a vacuum leak.
Also, since this is a newer computer controlled car, you are way better off using "electrical sending unit" gauges. (Except the boost/vacuum gauge..unless the the way the boost gauge is stock, you may be able to tap into it).
Lastly, I've personally been using, "AutoMETER" gauges for 15+ yrs. (Some are still in use today ), and have never had one go bad.
For my car, I have, ~supercharger~ boost/vac, fuel pressure (electric sender = pricey but, VERY useful..to me)
wide-band O2 gauge
Intercooler IAT gauge (pre/post display)
...the other vital gauges are in the cluster...oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, voltage.
