Also, typically, how much does it cost for a boast gauge install?

Thanks in advance.
Yes, you need a boost gauge on a tuned 335i. It shows whether your system is wealthy or you have a problem by measuring the vacuum and boost pressure. A datalogger might be a good idea as well, but it shows problems usually after the fact ( at least I am not able to drive progressive and watch a laptop display ) which might be too late.
