Question How to read Boost Guages

Sorry for the basic question but how do I read my boost guage and how do I know if my turbos are working properly?

I assume my guage is a standard one with a "0" at about 10 o'clock and numbers incling to the top and inclining to the bottom from the "0".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

so far so good... boost is to the right and vac. to the left. Stock boost pattern should be 10-8-10.

If it is in Bar or the kg/cm just multiply the reading by 14.7 to get the PSI reading.
