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

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.
