where should the boost gauge sit at idle

I have a 94 volvo 859 turbo sedan auto. Just wondering where the gauge should be sitting at when at idle and where it should be at wot.

Thanks

should be sitting to the left of the middle. basically the middle of the clear section. when in wot, it should be around the middle of the white part. when the car is off, it should be in the middle

Great pictures Boxpin. I disconnected my in dash gauge when I installed my boost gauge so I've not seen the comparison between the gauge in the dash and a proper boost gauge.
