Re: Question re: boost gauges...

I think the analog boost gauges are extremely fun to watch.  Don't think
you need to moniter it unless you have a cockpit adjustable setup and you
will be fiddling. Otherwise as soon as that turbo spools up you get to
watch the gauge rapidly tell you that you are in for a treat....
