Question defi boost gauge over reading

last night my deffi boost gauge started to over read by about .2 of a bar.

it has been fine up until now.

pipes are good.

checked it against my power fc commander, and avcr.

on idle the - figer is .2 higher as well


thanks

my car boost at 1.5 bar, and set the warnings just over 1.6 on them, and last night it was buzzing all the time when boosting it, but all the other gauges said it was 1.5, and deffie was at 1.7+

and on tick over the defi would be -.2**, and the other gauges -.4**

really strange why it has change.

Check the calibration against a known pressure. Its the only way to be sure.

think there is more chance of the defi reading wrong, anf the apexi avcr (boost controler), and the apexi power fc commander.

just not sure why.

mayb just a glich, and its got its brain out of gear.
