Every motor (far as I know) has vacuum (- side of boost gauge) and that draws in the fuel and air mixture to be burned.
On a supercharged motor..the charger is a force feed system that pushes air into the intake manifold. This shows as postive pressure on your boost gauge.
Essentially it'* an intake manifold vacuum/pressure gauge.

Oh..and it'* directly connected to the throttle and fuel gauge.
Throttle goes up..boost goes up.
The inverse is true about the fuel gauge
Boost goes up..fuel goes down. (leaves you with a big smile though)
