AEM Boost gauge acting funny

My AEM digital boost gauge is acting funny.

Sometimes it'll get "caught" at 0 or itll only hit 18 or 16 vacuum when deceling (instead of 26)

When it reads vacuum at 18 (8 lower than what it should) it reads 8 psi higher during peak book, even though I know the car isn't over boosting.

Anyone seen anything like this before?

Get the sensor out and check if anything is stuck inside it or blow inside it with a 30-35 psi of compressed air, also check that the wiring harness from the gauge to the sensor is not broken and well insulated.

Sounds like something is stuck in the line.
