Default Broken boost gauge?

I just got a new boost gauge and I dropped it while installing, like a foot or so. Now it reads at 10 vac with the car off, I can't start the car yet cause I need a chip. Did I just make my gauge retarded?

it should be good. back in the day, i had a tach that when the car was turned off, it would read 9K rpm's, but when i turned the car, it would set itself.

just hook it up, and see if it works. thats relaly all you can do.
