Maybe stupid thought - don't you have the standard ZL1 boost gauge in the dash, and can't you compare that reading to your A pillar gauge?

Watching that gauge sucks. Much more reliable would be to have HPTuners log some data for you.

The one on the dash doesn't give you an accurate reading. The OPs gives you an exact number. Not a needle pointing at a line where you have to figure out is it at 8.... mo, it's at 11....no its at 9.

At least they could've set the range to -12..12 or -16..16, that way ticks would represent integral numbers (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 or 0, 4, 8, 12, 16), but no, they had to set it to -15..15 so nobody can even attempt to guess

It's the same silly arrangement with the battery gauge on my SS, the range goes from 9 to 19V (why 9V? but much rather, why 19V???) so it's nigh impossible to find out about a low voltage situation

I will check it out, thanks.
Does it read ethanol content as well?

Yes, it can right out of the OBD2 port. Nothing extra needed.

The iDash gauge will read a bit nicer and show 0 boost when your actually not in boost and show the proper Boost PSI when your actually in boost. I don't see a need/reason for it to display vacuum on the gauge. To me that would be annoying.

I’ve always had a vacuum reading on my boost gauges.

Moving to diesels was a weird transition not seeing vacuum.

Those are really nice. I may have to switch them out. Thanks!
