 Boost Gauge problems????? well my autometer boost gauge is telling me when i turn the car off that it is at 4lbs when it should be at zero. then when i turn it on and im idling its at like 11lbs when i thought it should be at 15lbs so by my conclusion it seems to be off by 4. can someone help me figure this out if i have a boost leak or something else or maybe just my boost gauge went bad?
thanks!

Re: Boost Gauge problems????? Sounds like your gauge is jacked up, try another one. If you're still having problems, look for leaks. Idle should be at around 20 vac, btw.

Re: Boost Gauge problems????? is it true that when you got an autometer they have warranty for as long as you own them is that true?
because then i would have to buy another one to only find out i have a leak somewhere and my gauge is okay

Re: Boost Gauge problems????? borrow someone's gauge and try that out and see what it reads. I would still do a BLT and see if you have any leaks and go from there.
