I'll call it the Equality meter...I like having a even amount of black and white

haha

so you wont be black and at the same time wont be racist

edit:

but seriously though, how much boost would it be if according to that gauge, its almost all the way to the right.

Not always!

Ok I'll give the long answer, I too wanted to know what the gauge reading would be if there were numbers there instead of paint, so I borrowed a VDO boost gauge from Rob in our shop and then went out and played around with stop and go traffic. The best I could come up with was 15PSI at the edge of the white, when I boosted to 18psi I was well past the white. Kind of hard to watch two gauges, and the rapidly closing car in front of you, so my numbers are close but rough, I'm sure everyones guauge would be close but there is sure to be some differences.

15 seems common among the folks here that have two in the car, one with paint and one with numbers. With a stock non tweeked waste gate, the 1994 to 1997s will not boost to the edge of the white.(not sure about the "Rs")
