I put the boost gauge on my diesels turbo so i could keep tabs on it and learn its behavior. I found out my turbo is working excellent,makes boost in a drop of a hat.
On steep fast hills it will make 20lbs for a a few moments then the waste gate kicks in and holds the boost at 15lbs., so it also lets me know the waste gate is working.
It does function as a driving aid as well, i find cruising with 2-3lbs of boost is more efficient then cruising with 5 lbs of boost, it acts as a load gauge in that sense.
