Question Turbo Boost Gauge...

I had to do some internet searches to see exactly what the gauge was showing me since I didn't think I was supposed to see anything at idle. From what I understand, the gauge is there to provide dash "theater" since it isn't a true indicator of vacuum/boost. The question I have is how many folks have it displayed? Like most things, it was cool at first but I'm thinking I might go with the minimalistic look and ditch those indicators. Side note - why does dash need to display "Minimal" as opposed to just having nothing there? Oh Honda (Acura)...

Would be nice if there was a numerical representation of what the actual vacuum and boost pressure is.

For the RDX, the word 'Minimal' goes away for the MMC ('22+) years. I'm assuming the TLX got the same treatment? Can anyone with a '22 TLX confirm? It's also a gripe I have with my '20 RDX since I like the minimal look. I also wish the time was displayed somewhere on the CID as I like to turn my infotainment screen off most of the time.

I have set to display the boost gauge, but have absolutely no idea of what that moving little white tail means whenever I let go the gas pedal.

I leave it on just cuz it looks cool when it goes red. Probably just theatrics than actual function.
