How much boost

Hey guys I've been searching abit and found very little related topics. I was wondering if there is any way of knowing how much boost you're running.. besides the obvious boost gauge. I bought the car used with less than 9000 miles a year ago and the guy had put in a manual boost controller and a drop in filter. He said he got the car flashed and ran 21 psi but didn't have a boost gauge. I really never worried bout it since I put a few mods and planned on getting the car tuned soon. It probably won't be till the end of the summer now till i get it tuned so i started to wonder this.Thanks

Well If you have ECUflash you can hit a key for a little green leprechaun to pop up on your dash and he can tell you anything you wanna know...

Maybe the guy knew his boost, because his tuner connected a MAP sensor during the tune to measure it, but it should be a crime to run around in a modded Evo with no boost gauge. That's unbelievable. You should get a boost gauge ASAP - you have no idea what boost you're running right now...

he probrably dialed in the boost using boost datalogging equipment from the dyno he tuned at. nevertheless, it is super unsafe to have an mbc and no gauge.
