Thanks Rusty.  Marv's explanation was good enough that I finally understand.

I have a boost gauge made by VDO.  It reads both suction 0-30hg and boost
0-+25hg.  The center scale (0) is at the 1 o'clock position or there
0-+about.


I thought that this is what I need to monitor the turbo boost level, but now, I don't have a clue. I'm not sure what this gauge is going to show me.

Hi Steve,
 
Marvin did a good job of explaining all this, so hopefully, your set now.  I'll state again, that if I could only have one gauge, I'd want a MAP gauge, that went from 0 to about 50 in hg.  That's probably the best solution for a plane.  I currently fly with only a vacuum/boost gauge, but that's only because I'm waiting for the MAP instrument that's built into the EC-2.  In other words, this is the one gauge I want, and the boost gauge is just gravy, as Marvin would put it :-)
 
Cheers,
Rusty
