"0" Boost Reading

[JayDM]

Guys,

I have this issue:- The boost reading is at 0 when i turn on the ignition and stays there when driving/flooring. It doesnt gauge anything although spooling/turbo sound is normal. The needle then points at -5 when ignition is turned off.

I've read in the forums that it could be the boost hose.

Could it be something else as i didnt come across anyone else with the 'exact' same problem?

Is it a factory boost gauge? Electric or vacuum? Depends on what type of gauge it is to what the problem could be.

Its a stock factory boost gauge

I think they are electric. Check the wiring at the back of the gauge and on the sensor in the engine bay. Maybe you have a loose or broken wire. Also check the sensor itself and the tubing.

OEM gauge problems are 99% split boost feed pipe.

yup check what nicely said as that has happened to most of us....

Problem

Yah, my OEM gauge problem too. The needle suddenly will turn up side down lol Really have to change a new one

yeap that would be a leak in your vacumm line feed to you to the sensor. the original hose tend to get brittle and split. change it for some 4mm silicone hose stuff.
