Default My car??

When I hit wot my boost needle bounces around alot.........does this indicate i have a boost leak???
Occasionaly it holds....but most the time its fluttering around way too much and too hard to read... any help would be appreciated..

Sounds like you got a broken gauge really..... could be a boost leak....... does the car act abnormal or sounds abnormal when this is happening ?

Thanks for the replies.....the boost gauge is the one you can buy at autozone and goes to 30 psi.....i think the brand is autometer....seems like if i ease into wot slowly (instead of stomping on the gas) the needle is okay....but if i downshift into second and stomp on it it flutters alot.....only does it at high boost....if i turn the boost down it doesnt flutter so i think the gauge is okay....

i was just wondering if i had a boost leak...i hope not....
Im in the process of building one of those pressure testers for our cars...
