Hence the question; Can we believe the LOD output on the scangauge as a good indication of engine load?

I just installed an air dam on my TDI today and as I was coming back from work I was looking at my boost gauge when it hit me.
If a SG can accurately output engine loads, then all other things being equal, this would be an incredibly easy way to test aero mods. You get a baseline load at 75 mph, install your mod and look how the load differs at 75 mph again.
