ha - no your looking at something else then - the bar level is never at anything else unless your driving... it doesnt just sit at .1 or .2 and then you reset it - you reset it by coming to a stop of driving slowly - when you hit the gas the bar raises

if you hit the reset option and now it says 0.0 thats your mileage reading... welcome to cars my friend

when the car is idling, it is not making boost, therefore you will see 0.0, completelly normal.

under acceleration, you will create boost and the gauge will show it.

now go read the ****!ng manual! j/k

bryantjew, i would highly suggest reading this article on how turbos work - you should find it interesting:
http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turbo.htm

after that, there are a whole slew of articles on that site that will explain the fundamentals of how a car works.

Bryant you're killing us man! You bought a 60k+ car that will do 180 mph and aren't sure what the boost gauge is?
