So for any of you who were annoyed by it like I was, I'd suggest calling AEM customer service.

you cant fit the negative symbol on the the regular boost gauge readout lol. thats probably why they didn't do it. they do have some rude employees though.

I was going to buy the AEM boost gauge but after all the mix results I think i'm just going to get the Defi set up. I might just get the aem uego only.

If you cant tell the difference from 5psi and 5 in/hg than you have other problems with your car.

also boost doesn't just smoothly go from vac to boost, if the sensor sees any sign of decent throttle pressure it will instantly jump to 0 indicating you're out of in/hg

Can I ask where you got that bezel? It's quite nice, and I might have to pick up one for myself!

I have the AEM boost controller but only use the gauge. I guess its nice with a peak function but I don't really care about not having a negative - to which there's now an update for the EBC but not the Boost Gauge. If you're on the gas its + if youre off the gas its - in most situations, pretty self explanatory.
