How does one interpret the reading on the turbo gauge? What are the purpose of the unshaded vacuum area (left of center line) and shaded boost area? Also how does one use the turbo gauge to monitor vacuum leaks and low boost/psi?
Thanks,
Geevs

Because it's uncalibrated I've never read of anyone actually finding value in the guage, other than using it to understand how and when your turbo works.

vacuum is when the pressure in your intake is less than ambient. Boost is when the pressure in your intake is greater than ambient. A higher density of air requires a larger quantity of fuel to be injected, which results in greater power.
