The boost gauge in the viggen is not a vaccum gauge, so you will never see the red, unless you go have a tech II, and change it to what ever you want it to show. You can have the needle go all the way to the right if you want, but it will not give you more boost, it will just appear like you are boosting like crazy.
I was dismayed with my viggen not going into the red, especially since my 97 aero pegs, but the difference is the aero is a vaccum gauge, the new generation cars are not. best idea if you are concerned about not getting appropriate boost is to have your mechanic test it with a vaccum gauge to make sure you are getting full boost and that things are running right, or install an aftermarket gauge which is based on vaccum
