Turbo Gauge Detail-Min/Max

The information in the manual about the turbo gauge is very minimal. Any thoughts on the about of boost at the intervals below? Maximum boost pressure? Is max boost at the straight up point (12 o’clock position)?

For me I perceive it as the more the red circle grows the higher the boost pressure. This was a gauge feature pulled right out of the 2019-2020 RDX lol (and their turbo gauge was purple)

What I can say is that atleast in the refresh with the 2024 TLX the turbo gauge has more readable information that show actual boost pressure.

I always took it as, as the turbo spins faster, the RED circle inside becomes bigger which creates more boost, which is the white line that grows from 3 o'clock to 12 o'clock. Wish that gauge was bigger. And for the accelerometer, I dont know what they were thinking with that one.

This turbo gauge has always puzzled me since I picked up my car 3 years ago. There is virtually no documentation from Acura or technical sources describing how to read the gauge, especially the white bar going down from the 3 o'clock towards the 5 o'clock markings whenever I lift up the gas pedal. Vacuum reading ?

That's how I take it - from 3 to 5, its the amount of vacuum being generated (e.g. lifting off gas, coasting)

But its just too damn small and the uses only a small amount of the real estate it could use (e.g. 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock)
