Why no boost guage on my '98 V70 T5?! V70-XC70 1998

Sad, isn't it? Volvo is sometimes inscrutable, if not incomprehensible. Did they think those who are nervous about turbos would somehow forget they had one if there was no gauge to remind them?

I added the VDO boost gauge (egauges.com) in the ashtray bay, just ahead of the shifter. Now that I have 99K on the odometer, I'm thinking of re-arranging my entire center console to get the boost gauge up closer to eye level. I don't like the A-pillar location many brickheads use, and for which there is a special mounting pod - it makes the gauge far too prominent.
