The engine would still run with out boost. A loss of oil pressure would cause much more damage...

It gives you a heads up if there might be a potential problem with the turbo charger before there is a serious problem.

The 2015 has a digital boost gauge; you can see it in the interior pics. BTW all the gauges are digital display instead of a traditional (looking) analog gauges on the 2015 except speedo & tach. They are all just glorified idiot lights anymore not real gauges anyway.

From What I understand in what all i can say... The digital cluster we have now... Let me back up a sec.

I was invited to a consumer show where they let me see concepts and future ideas they plan on putting on trucks. One in particular was the digital screen we see today; err, the instrument cluster is changing dramatically. All of what you are asking for and need will be there and you will have to ability, in a sense, to make it your own.
