How to calibrate S.W. boost gauge.

My Stewart Warner boost gauge reads 11 HG from the box. I hooked it up and it reads ~ 10 PSI at WOT 4000-5000 rpm and 30 HG at idle. Is there any way to calibrate the gauge so it reads zero at rest?

That's not right. Did you get the gauge from 42?

If you did, get in touch with us. We don't send gauges out like that but a good slam in shipping will alter the resting place of the needle.

I ordered a Defi from optionimports.com and it started at 10PSI on rest

I had to send it back, took like a month to get it back and now my gauge is off by like .5 but I'm not going to bother sending it back and wait again. It got me way too pissed off.
