Yep, the stock boost gauge is useless to the max.
Spending $20-$50 on a new one is a very good upgrade just to know if there are any boost/vacuum problems happening with your engine - or if you plan to do performance modifications in the future.

Check out this sweet *** boost gauge!!

For most people running stock cars, the stock guage is fine. For any enthusiast, whether they mod or not, an aftermarket guage is best.
