Gauges fitted but!!
The boost gauge needle sits in the minus area and not the zero, so by the time it goes up and past the zero it only shows a reading of 0.5 psi, not sure if I've fitted it wrong? there was a boost gauge already fitted which was giving me a reading of about 1.0 to 1.3 psi so all I've is disconnected that gauge and put pipe to new Gauge..
Anyone now how to get needle to start from Zero?
Thank you in advance

It was running over 1.0 Bar on the old gauge, but the new one it's just reading 0.5 bar which is low, is there a way of recalibrating the gauge,boost?
to get correct reading?
Sorry about all the q's, it's the first time I'm getting the gauges done.

It's a 2 port solenoid, I was there when put in the new one no pipes changed he used the original pipes, restrictor pill?
Also Ive just checked the Actuator Arm and it's bent just before the nut and thread and there is play as you try and move the arm by the clip?
Is that what's causing the problem do you think?
Thanks

I'll take a pic and try and get it on here, I don't know about the pill I'll ask him about it when I speak to him, there's a lot of Rust around the arm too..
