Cant say Ive ever seen a mechanical gauge that far off, even a shite TIM turbo one. But Ive used the racetech on cars up to around 2.5 bar and they've worked fine

The only time they go off, is if you seriously overpressure them and fuck up the internals. But then that's obvious as the gauge doesnt reset to zero when the car is off. Where is the signal line taken from ?

Do 0 and vac readings appear normal ?
