Boost gauge recalibration?

Anyone know if you can get boost gauges recalibrated?.
I've got Greddy 60mm one, but the needle has moved somehow and when not on the car at all reads 0.4 bar, when it should obviously be sitting at 0
Haven't tried it on the car, but I presume it'll read +0.4 bar over actual boost when WOT. I sucked it (oooeer) and it moves etc but pops back to 0.4 bar.
Wonder if putting it on the car might 'sort it out', perhaps it's sticking, thinking out loud now

You can re-calibrate them, I have but you need a pointer puller so that you don't cause any damage when re-zeroing. You will also need a calibrated digital pressure indicator or gauge to set yours against. It gets more complicated if you have a span error.

Not sure who could do it for you, I did mine at work as I have the facilities there but I also have a proper pointer puller as I used to be an instrumentation technician. 0.4bar is just under 6psig error, how long have you had the gauge and did you buy it new?
