Just wondered, because my MY99 turbo doesn't have a standard boost gauge. I haven't have the privilege of seeing a WRX interior yet.

It would seem the answer is no. Standard UK cars are effectively de-tuned so I guess you could say a boost gauge is not really necessary. If you start tweeking to get some extra horses ( or have an STI/ import model ) then a boost gauge gives some peace of mind, especially as like me you have a 99/00 model with it's famously ****e air flow sensor. I just checked boost level on mine with a temporarily connected gauge as it's not running quite right and I wondered if others had a gauge as standard. I looked when I was at the main dealers and none of the UK models ( including P1 or STI ) had a gauge. You can buy a housing pod to replace the storage compartment on top of the dash which will take up to 3 gauges or I think I saw a small housing to take 1 gauge that can be fitted at the bottom right of the windscreen on top of the dashboard.
