At idle what should it read? i have a MY95 UK turbo wagon if that helps also what is the std boost in the above car?

Ive just fitted mine and it reads around the 20mark on vac and when normal driving it rises to just under 0 vac and when giving it some with the loud pedal rises to just short of 10psi if that is correct not sure how to read them properly so forgive me for my ignorance(spelling)

Cheers

Darren

I bought the boost gauge second hand so im not sure if the gauge is out(more then likely)or wether the car is down on boost? by the way when the car is turned off and the gauge is off the needle is just under the 0? what do you think dhorwich poss the gauge and if so is there any way of getting them re-calibrated?
