Defi D gauge

Does it really matter that my Defi D boost gauge doesnt sit at Zero?

for some reason all the people that just got their defi d-gauge have had the same problem. i got mine like 3 months ago and never had it. it shouldn't be a problem but i am wondering what might be the cause of it.

batty - RMA the thing.

Mine was displaying 5 psi when the car was off. At max boost (20psi) it was displaying 25psi.

Apparently there was a bad batch out of Defi Japan.. I'm waiting on a replacement still...

Ok i contacted EDOperformance about my gauge problem. Edwin was cool said he had another one there that was reading at zero. My question is how the hell do i get the one i have back to them without paying to have it uninstalled. Can i just take it out of my mounting cup and disconnect it? any info would be helpful

Ooops, lost this thread. You ever get your gauge problem fixed? I got a 2nd gauge, but it reads off too... when off it reads 3-4psi. I'm starting to get a little irritated with these mechanical gauges..

havent taken it out yet. not sure if i am going to. I am going to get a HKS evc so that will display everything i need. However it is annoying looking at a 1 psi when the car is off. Its supposed to be at zero. Just do what i am doing. Once its warm out to send the gauge back. Just never buy defi. No quality control obviously

At least yours is only 1psi... I called up EDOperformance and I think this time Fedex is at fault. They did a good banging job damaging the gauge during shipping.
