Default Can a VAG or OBD tool be used to monitor Turbo Boost?
I haven't gotten around to installing a boost gauge yet and I'm thinking wether these diagnostic tools might monitor boost under driving conditions?

Default don't know if the vag tool can do a datalog on block 115 or 120 (forgot which is boost)
but the I have used the similar VW Tool to data log those and find out boost, etc..
