Nothing apart from a charger.

Boost is opposite of vacuum, so a kid sucking the tube wont change it either :p Lol

why would you want one? get a vacuum gauge and itll move around when you press the accelerator!

attach it to your exhaust so you can see how much back pressure you have

Most boost guages have negative boost on the left hand side i.e. vacuum

mercs, beemers and fiats used to have their "economy" gauges run off the inlet vaccum much like a "boost" (or rather inlet manifold pressure) gauge....
