does the boost pressure guage have any value if you have no supercharger?

no

Infact it won't even work without a supercharger or turbocharger

Actually, it will work but it will only read InHg (vacuum). Some people with na engines actually use a vacuum gauge. -JoeB

True, but you'll never see positive pressure aka boost. I would think that if you wanted a vacuum gauge, you'd get one specificially for that which starts at 0 as opposed to wasting 1/2 the gauge on boost.

But yes you are correct, forgot about that.

That's what I said, they use a vacuum gauge. -JoeB
