Question Boost Gauge Interpretation

I understand the Fuel gauge and the Coolant & Tranny Temp gauges, but what is the Boost gauge telling me and what should I do about what it is telling me?

The manual, ever helpful as usual, says:
QUOTE
Indicates the amount of manifold air pressure in the engine.
UNQUOTE


Thanks.

For example when you accelerate the boost gauge increases or moves to the right. Let's say your driving up a grade and you depressed the pedal and nothing happened (no power), the first thing you would look is boost present. This could be a leak in the tubing or intercooler or the turbo just simply let go.
