This is the wierdest poll I've seen yet. The gauge monintors charge and vacuum. The gauge is simply reading two parameters. The vacuum shows you the health of a engine (compression). It is helpfull for anyone looking a boost controll, spool rate and compression. Although, reading vacuum is error prone in accessing compression.

I don't think you can buy a boost gauge that doesn't read vacuum unless it is really cheap, it would be worthless.
