It wasn't initially a boosted motor sooo...I'd say that the gauges would be pretty necessary.

Am I wrong here?

Also I wasn't calling her out. Were you calling me out? I don't understand. I was trying to help her troubleshoot because she has family coming over this week to help her work on the car.

I don't think superchargers can out of no where run more boost, unlike turbochargers which boost is controlled by the wastegate, there can be issues with boost creep or variations in boost levels depending on the climate
