Bar absolute (so take off approx 1bar for a 'regular' reading), and 99 seems a tad high imo.

Go for 14.6 to save an argument

No, as it just displays the same readings the ECU sees.

The Pectel is cool for accurate figures (esp. if you use the data logging feature) but for simplicities sake, I have an analogue boost gauge too - far easier to read on the move.
