    Mine is reading 2 psi off from the dyno, and the gauge needle now rests two lines into vaccum not at 0 psi. Anyone with similar issues?

    mines would never reset to extactly zero, it would read 30in vac when it should be around 20in.

    mines had two buttons, one button for "warn boost" and the other for "peak boost", say if you press warn, the needle should move from where ever it is currently to the warning boost(psi), which was set to about 6psi, that it never did and that when it return to from where it left off it would tend to over shoot or never make it. i also had a manometer i used to check it with.

    I got mine used and it sits at 5 vac when the car is off. When my car is running and warmed up it is at 20 - 25 vac, which it should be so I don't know if it works correctly or not. I don't think I have saw more than 5 psi with 6 psi JR kit on my gauge. Not sure if that is right or not.
