It reads in mmHg. If you are in the middle of the gauge you are about 5 PSI.

The top of the scale (450mmHg) is only 8.7psi, which is about where you'll hit fuel cut if you don't have a FCD.

If you have any mods you should not even be looking at the stock gauge, you should be looking at your aftermarket boost gauge, which should've been the first thing you bought...
