nope. turn the key, without starting the car. the gauge does read what the atmospheric pressure is at altitude, because this is the pressure inside the manifold. therefore, at my altitude, my gauge reflects this. 1 BAR is NOT what the outside air pressure is... 1 BAR is 14.7PSI. this is a static concept. therefore, if for some reason the outside air pressure were 50 PSI, it would be ~4 BAR.
thus, no matter what the altitude, full boost on a given turbocharged car is, most likely, is the same.
