no theres a depression not a boost pressure in the manifold,thats the point of a super charger or turbo,you can fit a vac gauge
 
where does the vac line go to becouse i have not got a clue still new to the 4.0 v8? and is it benificial? cheers man
 
You can fit a vacuum gauge. A boost gauge generally has a vacuum section on the scale, but of course it won't ever go into the boost region. Not much point especially on a non-turbo. Only real use is to give you a gauge to watch go up and down.
 
haha ok im sure ill think of another stupid one haha. at least i got my answer tho i didnt think it was possible but hey live and learn;)
