Welcome to the forum!

Below is a pic of where the sensor is located. I suggest first confirm it is plugged in and the connector/wires are not damaged.

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.
