If the gauge is toast it's no big deal, it's crap anyway and you should have an aftermarket one if you're doing any mods. But if the sensor it reads from isn't working, that's serious, because the ECU takes a manifold pressure reading from it too. The pressure sensor is mounted on the front of the RHS strut tower in the engine bay, and has a 4-pin plug and a rubber hose. Check that both are securely attached. Follow the hose to the manifold to make sure it's secure there too.

Ditto here. I fixed it by removing the cluster and cleaning the contacts on the back of the PCB where the guage attaches (2 or three brass screws IIRC). All of the screw were loose. Tightening/cleaning them caused the gauge to work perfectly.
