Broken Boost Gauge
Anybody have trouble with your boost gauge? I left my car in the garage for three days, and I jump in it today and the gauge us showing 15in vacuum at idle. HMMMMMMM. I shut it off to do a restart, and I notice it's stuck at 5psi with the car off. I thought those pro-comp gauges were suppose to be good.

Some operate only with Boost. Others like the Odyssey Operate in Vac & Boost -30mmHg - 30psi. They give a MUCH more accurate reading than any other needle analog gauge out there when installed properly.

RE: Broken Boost Gauge
YEAH GUYS 15 MINUTE INSTALL!!!! Ummmm no? Callibration is neccessary, that takes far more than 15 minutes. Be careful when you take your A-pillars off they like to break. Then take the whole top piece of the dash off, and you'll have direct access to the boost guage. You'll need a flathead, connectors (male and female), some wire, a screwdriver, wire cutters, pliers, some crimpers (unless your like me and use your teeth to uncover wires), and some patience. Don't turn your car on when the gauge isn't connected though. It gets angry and idles horridly.
There is a video online of the install....if you want ill see if i can find it for you.
