I’ve activated the turbo boost pressure gauge in the MFD of my Macan S, however, when driving the gauge is reading 0, though I’ve only been driving at urban speeds, so should the boost pressure be showing no matter what speed the vehicle is travelling?

At low revs and/or light throttle openings, the boost pressure is too low to register on the gauge.

No. There’s little to no boost in urban driving unless you’re engaging in traffic light Grand Prix starts! You’ll only see significant boost when using large throttle openings, but best to look where you’re going then!

Many thanks, guys.....looks like I need to find a nice quiet road to try it out then...or I may just change the display to read the oil pressure, which may be more useful!

i don't get much pressure reading without a bit of accelerator.

Really far more active driving on top of the Massif Central though; exactly as it should be.
