boost problem

I have run into a weird situation with my boost guage. I have a Greddy ELectronic boost gauge with peak hold. Recently I notice that my needles just start to go crazy. Like I'll be driving and my boost gauge needle starts to shake and when i floor it it jus go crazy. It doesn't do this all the time just sometimes.

can this be a MBC error? I've had my gauge for a year... and my MBC from Dejon tools for about 6 mtns. It just started to do this recently and I dont know if it's my gauge or something wrong with the boost controller.


Please advise.

Thanks

get another boost gauge (cheapest one) and see if it does the same thing.

if it feels like your car is hitting whatever your MBC is set at then check your wiring.
