prosport vs. autometer boost gauge!

i have a prosport gauge and i was wondering, has anyone had experience with these gauges? i had an autometer boost gauge and it read 13-14psi with boost turned all the way down. i installed the prosport, made sure the boost was still all the way down, and the prosport read 7-8 psi. i don't know which one is right. my motor is all stock, except, intake, exhaust, intercooler, flash. stock internals. i've heard that stock internals wont be able to hold 25psi. but i've always ran 25 psi according to my autometer. the prosport, i think might be reading more accurate, but i just don't see how a boost gauge can be 5-6 psi off. i don't know which gauge to trust. help..!

never heard of prosport.... and i thought i heard them all.

Autometer
Stewart Warener
HKS
APEXi
DEFI
SPW
MEGAN
GREDDY
SUNPRO
EQUIS
AND IM SURE THERE ARE A FEW MORE.....

But from what i have seen the Autometer just like a few other mechanical gauges will read a few psi higher. Example: Your gauge reads 24, well your prolly running 22 psi...
