Yea I have a GLE43 Coupe - and have known about that gauge in the center LCD. I"m talking about this:
In the center there you can see the boost level. I was under the impression that the GLE43 center lcd just shows the torque??

Actually, I got that pic online. On the U.S. version, the center gauge shows the torque and horsepower.

The OP is looking for the turbo boots to be shown on the dash, which BTW, that would be cool!!!

Just thought I would share as sometimes I have heard people refer to the "Charge-Max" bar gauge in the cluster as "Turbo charge air" or "boost." From what I understand, this bar gauge (which goes green) indicates when your alternator is charging the electrical system. As part of the battery management system and the electronically controlled alternator, in an effort to increase fuel economy (ie, reduce engine load) the battery management system will usually try to only charge the electrical system during decel/coasting (as this is free energy) and this will be most of the time you will see this bar graph go green while driving. If the battery management system senses a low main battery, then of course you will be charging all the time until the battery is back to an acceptable level. Then mostly charge during decel/coasting again.
