I appoligize for my miss wording, he was saying he has a Manifold pressure gauge that it would imply that it reads only pressure, and when I was saying boost being only a gasser thing I meant to say boost/vacuum gauge like I had on my turbo WRX. Where you have a throttle body that will need to read vacuum. Where on the other hand a turbo diesel has no throttle body and will read positive pressure or nothing since there is no intake restriction.
