...I want to see the difference in boost with varying mods and driving conditions. And it looks cool.

D all of the above plus it looks really, really cool!

Way back in the mid to late sixties when all cars were NA some came with an economy meter in the dash which was actually a vacuum gauge.
The face of the gauge was labeled to indicate a scale of economy.
By providing the driver the visual feed back for maintaining a high vacuume in the intake manifold which is directly related to the throttle position and your right foot.

Or shift lights triggered by intake manifold vacuum.

Boost gauge goes great next to your Bling Gauge!



And you MUST have a bling gauge to warn you if your MINI is experiencing a dangerous over-bling condition.
