Friends,

Hypothetical question. 
Let's say it's a standard day and I'm at sea level.
I've installed a turbocharger and have also connected the stock automobile turbo boost gauge, along with my traditional manifold pressure gauge.

I ground-run the engine to full throttle (where the MP would normally be reading 29.92- minus some efficiency loss) and the boost gauge is reading 20 psi.

What should the MP indicator be reading?

Thanks!

Pat
