Default Boost Gauge!

If I was to purchase a new boost gauge what kind should I get or should I just get another stock? My gauge is acting up when the car is off it is 2lbs vacuum. What should i do?

How is that normal. When I first got my car, when it was off the boost gauge was right at 0, but now it is at 2lbs vacuum, doesnt sound normal to me. But then again I have no clue.

Make Chrysler replace it under warranty. If you want to change it out, FAZE makes some nice digital and analog boost gauges. I hear they are pretty good quality. I replaced mine twice, this one seems to be holding up ok. That factory pro-comp gauge is suppose to be a good one too.

Mine works perfect and when it's shut off it sits at 0-1 lbs. I have a new Auto Meter Pro Comp Ultra Lite EGT gauge that looked like it might have be messed up since the needle was pointing out in left field, but then I hot wired it to the battery to check it and the needle snapped right to where it should be. I even heated up the probe to check it out and it responded perfectly. I would stick with Auto Meter Pro Comp, you can get the Ultra Lite which is what the SRT-4 comes with or you can get the Carbon fiber one or the traditional black face or the white face or the super expensive Cobalt version.

I bought Auto Meter Nexus gauges. I bought a boost, oil pressure, and fuel pressure. In the stock boost gauge port I am going to put an Auto Meter D-Pic gauge which is similar to a G-Tech performance meter, only it is in the shape and size of a gauge and will therefore fit in a gauge pod, like the stock SRT-4 one. The Nexus gauges are amazing. They can change to seven different colors, record 30 seconds of information, have a remote control, can register peak gauge values, and can be set to change color at whatever value you like. I have my boost/vac gauge set to 12 lbs of boost, and when it hits or goes past 12 lbs, the gauge turns blue (b/c I have my gauges set at red, like my car, if you have your gauges set any other color, the gauges turn red when the get out of the set values). You can set your oil pressure to 20 lbs, and if it goes below 20 lbs, the gauge turns red, etc. The senders for the gauges all are routed into a computer, which sends one line out to the gaugesm ie: no running three lines up a pillar, only one wire. The D-pic will tell you your horsepower, 1/4 mile times, 0-60 times, reaction times, 60-0 distance, and real time G's. It is amazing, and all you have to do is run power to it....

^nice setup.

I like the interactive color change on the different meters. Good warning system. Probably looks sweet, too. Do you have them on the pilar?
