Default oil pressure guage = boost guage?

i have an extra electric oil pressure guage and was wondering i could use it as a boost guage seeing how they both read pressure?

Well maybe its just me, but it was made for oil, so use it for its designated purpose. I guess if you "heard" it works, try it out and write up a review for honda-tech'ers.

if it were mechanical, then I would say perhaps it would work...

but even if it did, you wouldn't be able to see any sort of accuracy with it, because oil pressures are so much higher than boost.

plus, the measurements of oil + boost would be off, because they are calibrated for their respective weights. oil is much heavier than atmosphere.
