Good afternoon All

Very new to all of this , i gave my cupra 290 some speed yesterday coming home and the boost dial read 36.7 psi , i no these are atmospheric so would be around 22psi but how accurate are these ive read up that they are not very accurate and more of a gimmick but would like to know owners thoughts on this . Ive been told car is stock but having not driven a hot hatch with 290 bhp before i dont no if normal

Thanks all and sorry if i sound thick
