Default autometer boost gauge.

Has anyone had the problem of their boost gauge uncalibrating? mines stuck at -3 inhg. is there a way you can fix it or do I have to go get a new gauge.

is it gel filled? random-strike has one that is, and it would never be at zero.... the gel all leaked out, and once it was gone it was calibrated correctly

mine works perfect now without any gel in it.
it was a total POS when it had gel.

it would rest between 0 and 10 vacuum LOL

I used to have a autometer boost gauge, sometimes it will read to the exact boost settings, and sometimes it was stuck at 5 psi, it was brand new, I got it replaced and then I was having problem with line getting crushed and cause boost leak. it sucks. I had the zeitronix hooked up and it was reading the correct boost while autometer was off by 75%

so I bought a greddy gauge and never had a problem since

Ive been rocking the same Autometer boost gauge since 99'. Its done me good :1
Never been stuck, and seems to read correctly.
Although, the one in my Wagon reads a bit diff from the one in my CRX. Ive had them both hooked up at the same time, and my Wagon gauge is about 2" of vacuum off.
