With a siezed turbo the guage will move as the vacuum will vary, but it'll never move into the boost at all, it'll always stay in the vacuum region. The guage would behave exactly the same if you connected it to the intake manifold of a non turbocharged car. The resting position of the needle when the engine is off is 0 psi, below that point is vacuum, above it is boost.
