If you disconnected the sensor and the car reacted by turning the turbo gauge off and the pointer went into the red zone "No Safety", then I suspect the car's electrical system is fine.
The check engine light not coming on might be okay...sometimes the computer has to see the error on at least two drive cycles before it triggers the light.
Without further testing that would require a Techstream, I would suggest replacing the sensor.
