exhaust brake gauge

I'm trying to fill up the third gauge hole in my 3 gauge pod, and I stopped by BD Diesel the other day looking for suggestions and they said I could get a pressure gauge for my exhaust brake. He went on to say that this way I could make sure it was closing fully and keep an eye on the pressure so I would know if any adjustments are necessary.
I don't even know how / why one would make adjustments to it, but has anyone else done this gauge thing? Any thoughts about it?
