Prosport gauge issue

So I've had my car for a few months with a built motor but nothing too crazy, but on the stock turbo making 358 whp and the car feels good for pump gas and not a whole lot done to it. Anyhow, I had the Prosport gauges put in by English Racing who did the motor build - boost, EGT, and wideband A/F gauges. For those of you who don't know, the Prosport gauges have a peak / hold function, as well as a warning function. The warning noise is very loud, so I put that on mute and set it to around 28 psi or so, so the warning never has any reason to go off since I run more like 23-25 psi.

So I took the car out for a fun drive today, and ran it pretty hard for a while on some back roads. I'm not a hardcore drag racer, but I did just one hard launch from a stop near the end of my drive, and I'm wondering if a wire got knocked loose or something, because the boost gauge now will occasionally do the flash white / red warning as if I'm overboosting, and it will do this while the car is in vacuum or just cruising along, so it's obviously not hitting the warning or anything like that. Has anyone ever had these issues?

I saw a lot of mixed bag reviews on these gauges before I bought them, and they are pretty cheap price-wise compared to Defi, but for the most part they've been a decent gauge for me, and I like the way they look. I'm not real happy with the warning light flashing at me all of the sudden, but I'm hoping it's either an easy fix or they will warranty it since I have had them not even two months yet. Any input is appreciated!

Trevor

I have prosport gauges, I don't have this problem, but try to set up the warning feature to 28 psi again.

Maybe it lost the setting it had
