2G Boost gauge reading psi while at idle

[RjDSM99]

Hey guys I got a 99 eclipse GST with an OBX intercooler, greddy fv bov, and stock t25 and a tune is it normal for the boost gauge to be reading a few psi while at idle? I’ve heard it should be at 0 I’ve heard it shouldn’t

What boost gauge? The stock one? What are you using for tuning? Ecmlink?

Stock boost gauge, as far as tuning I have no idea, dumbass of a previous owner had it tuned but had no information about it. I need a retune and soon but fixing up the small things first

And what is being used to tune this car?

 

[Dericsh]

Is there another boost gauge installed besides the stock one? Or evidence of having one before,

In ecmlink, you can have the stock gauge read knock counts, or battery voltage, etc. maybe that is what is going on.

Do you know what ecu you have? Stock boost gauge is just an ecu output. You need to know what's been changed and how.

I believe it’s just the stock ecu that’s been remapped
