A vacuum / boost gauge is an essential item on a supercharged MINI.

Right, now I know. I'm sure there are a lot of people that aren't as "mechanically knowledgeable", and are unaware how essential the BPV is.
After having my car's BPV replaced, for me the difference is almost the equivalent of not having a super charger.

I really want to stress that it made a huge difference for my car.
