I am having a prob with my boost gauge...it is not zeroing out and it reads vacume at like 28-30 max boost is like 12-13 its goes back and forth I also have stage2 i hooked my gauge up out of my eclipse and its is working right. my friend also had this happen after installing stage2 is this a prob with the srt-4?

the srt boost gauges are notorious for being slightly off. i have already replaced mine! if that isnt the issue, and your sure the gauge is reading correctly, you will need to check for boost leaks. YES THEY ARE THERE!!! do a search on the srtforums.com for boost leaks. be sure to tighten the IC piping clamps, and check for any other signs of leaking. that should correct it

its also winter time, so boost levels will be low. 12-15psi, without an aftermarket wastegate actuator is about normal. even if your using the stage 2 wastegate. if you run the agp or similar setup, you will be able to adjust boost a little better, maybe bump it up to 15-17psi. you can also run a boost controller and get some more out of it. but on a stage2 only system that sounds about normal

No it's not a boost leak i checked that when i put the new intercooler on last week. I normaly push about 18-19 psi the thing is i pulled my gauge out of the eclipse and its reads right. the srt gauge is reading -28 at idle that is not normal. you can hear it spooling and feel the boost when the gauge is at -10. then its slowly goes to about +12-13

then the gauge is out. not the first time. i had to change out my gauge once before as well.
