Boost Issue or Guage Issue?

For shits and giggles today on the commute home, I changed the Procede settings to show boost in the fuel gauge. However, even at 4k rpm under load I never saw the needle get off 0. Clearly that's not right, so back to the thread title, how would one know if it were a gauge issue or a legitimate boost issue?

To the OP : What's your definition of under load?

I've been running my fuel gauge as the boost gauge ever since I put in the PROcede, and I've noticed the same, but I also do notice that it does show about 6-8 psi when under sufficient load (i.e. 6th gear & 2500 rpm acceleration) and showing 15 psi when WOT, so it looks as though it is gauging the boost levels.

Anything under WOT registers nothing on the gauge. Spoke with Vishnu today, and they said that by default it might not be showing boost as the manual states, and to double tap the hazards to cycle through them to see if that's the case.

Cycled through all the various readout options while driving home tonight. Ignition advance and AFR were responding and reading properly. And yet boost remains at 0 unless I'm at WOT, and even then it goes to 1/2 and falls back down even as I continue to accelerate.

Do you have your gauge calibration setup for a 135i? The default is 335i and it will throw off your readings if not setup right.

Yes, I adjusted it to 135i settings, although I don't remember which kph 135i setting I set it to. All the needles match up when using the command center though.

As stated earlier, a log will likely be your best friend...
