.... Is this normal (when ignition is off)?

Shouldn't it sit bang on zero?

I have been looking for a replacement thinking it's buggered or out of caliberation, but the pics I've seen on say eBay do the same, so is mine normal?

I'm sure it used to sit on 0 before. I'll get a pic tomorrow

That's what I thought it should do, so why doesn't mine? It's like showing -5 psi???

hello, mine does this too.. I am abit unsure why it does it.. When i drive it its still says below 0, but when i gun it it comes up to about 1 bar.. ??

hi
is it a 1 bar guage and running alot more boost ( lol ) and done the needle
to be honest with if its a cheapy and no offence ment its probaly knackerd, have you hit any large pot holes recently i lost a needle on amp guage due to this lol
get a new guage time i think but try another of a mate to see if its right

your boost guage is ok fella they all do that untill your boost builds up
mines -20 on idle but hes boost guage is below zero with engine off not running around in it

Yea it is a cheap one really... Don't recall hitting any potholes tho LOL

It sits at -20 on idle sweet enough, but due to it not sitting at zero, there's no true Reading of actual boost eh. I'll go shopping again then and see. Thanks

mark2

hope your shopping for a decent boost guage , tell the misses her cloths can wait the rs comes first lol

Looks mint on that pod mate... Helps hide all that 'wrinkled effect' innit LOL.
