if you got any kind of warranty with the car, have them replace the boost gauge. otherwise you might as well just get an aftermarket gauge that will be more reliable. the stock gauges are prone to failure

Also it never moves to the Pressure the gauge just stays between 10 & 20 on the Vacumn side, just want to make sure its only an issue with the gauge and nothing else

does it shake when you turn on the car to cause then if you havent changed the plugs and wires on these cars, you should. the stock ones are junk.
