Congrats on the new SS. The way the display on the top of the dash works took me a while to figure out until I read the manual! If you simply rotate (twist) the knob without pushing it in you will change the display on the left side of the screen. One of the choices will be the boost gauge among the others indicated in other responses. If you push the knob in first and let it up, then when you twist it you will scroll through the available displays for the right side of the screen. I find the digital speed indication helpful when riding through local speed trap areas where you need to be really aware of how fast you are going. The turbo gauge with the shift light tree combined with the competitive mode is for having a good time. I also have the 2010 and it apparently is the first year for this user configurable display and unfortunately also the last year for the SS. I especially like the ability to get the four wheel graphic up with the tire pressures as compared to scrolling through a bunch of stuff on the DIC before you get the pressures on that. Good luck with the new wheels.

2009 was the first year for the RPD (as an option)...2010 was the first and only year that it became standard issue for SSes (I'm guessing to get red of as much RDP inventory as possible). The '08s had the A-pillar boost gauge.

I figured it out over the weekend, thanks!

I have a '10 with the RPD. I'd really like to get the stock pillar-mounted mechanical boost gauge so I can use some of the other features in the RPD and still have a full-time boost gauge. Just haven't gotten around to picking one up salvage yet.
