Boost gauge worth it?

Like the title says, do you think it is worth the $80 -$100 and time to put a boost gauge in or not? I'm contemplating it as I have one in my TDI.

What is the usual boost range the turbo on a 300D puts out anyway?

Also, just for curiousity sake and since it is not marked on the tach anywhere, what is redline on these motors. On my TDI it is about 4700 RPM, and I have had the 300D at 4500 RPM several times with no apparent issues.

Thanks,

Glenn
