Just to add to this, the turbo needle measures intake manifold pressure, which can be negative (white) or positive (yellow). From idle until you get boost, intake manifold pressure is negative (a vacuum). Boost is, by definition, positive pressure. The little white zone between the yellow and the white shows dead neutral (zero relative to atmospheric) pressure.
