Default How to read the Turbo gauge in IS200T?

Even after owning the car for more than a year, I still have this question.
How do you read the turbo gauge in the car?
What does each reading mean?

It's just a fun feature. You don't need to ever look at it. Basically 0 is neither vacuum or boost. It's the reading off the manifold. Once you go over 0, the engine is using forced induction in combustion (more power, but uses more gas) so i guess if you want, use it to save gas by keeping the needle below 0 or as close to 0 as possible.
