Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

So I just had prosport gauges put in my car and the boost gauge is F'in up. The needle by itself stays in the maxed out position and it CONSTANTLY beeps and doesn't stop at all! Let me know how to fix this problem otherwise I'm goin back up to the shop and have them fix it. I spent way too much money and it didn't meet my expectations for what I had done.

The ProSport Boost gauge sucks. Their other gauges work great, but I had the Electrial Boost gauge and it was off 5 pounds! Try using your boost controller when your gauge tells you that your at 20 pounds and your actually at 25! The only electric boost gauge Ill use is the AEM because it runs off the MAP sensor!

I simply removed my Prosport Boost Gauge and threw it in the trash, and installed an Autometer Electronic Boost Gauge in its place....
Sorry to hear about your problem, but it turns out that you get what you pay for.

spent way to much money BAHAHAHAH how is that possible when the prosport guages is like 38 for mechanical and like 80 for electronic... im sure soething is either conected to the wrong pressure line or you have a bad guage if its electonic...
contact whoever installed it and or who you purchased it from!

I've got the prosport gauges in my a pillar and the boost gauge is about 2-3 psi off but I don't use it to tune so really its just for looks! LOL I use the blitz SBC iD II for both boost control and boost reference. The other Prosport gauges I have work great. (EGT, Oil pressure). Let us know what ends up happening.
