Yes, it's true.  While I don't have a boost gauge (yet) in my S4, my
5000S turbo comes stock with a boost gauge in the instrument cluster.
You can rev the engine up all day in neutral and the boost gauge reads
vacuum (around 0.5 bar absolute).  However, once on the go the boost
gauge will show up to 1.5 bar absolute if I step on it.
