Boost Gauge, what does your sit at when car is off?

[DSMTurbos]

as the title states, if you have a mechanical boost gauge, what does your show when the car is turned off. mine is showing around 3-4 psi i think, i was wondering if that is normal or what

No its not normal should sit at zero i bet u got a crapometer mine used to do that so i grabbed it and threw it out the window and bought me an APEX mechanical and never had a problem. Now im running an electronic Greddy wtih P/H/W its great.

yeah i am trying to contact defi, but its not like they really have a station in the US i think. So i am emailing a few vendors that sell them due to the fact that it looks like the guy i bought them from no longer sells them i think, i hope they warrenty them. It makes me pretty happy to find out that this is the problem though cause i think now i realize i am trapping about 103 with probably only 14psi
