Its just a simple zero error.
Doubt there is anything you can do to calibrate it

dont think so, as they hold some memory in them, as every time you discount the power, you would lose all the settings

What's the typical value off boost eg engine running at idle?

TYP 3R

its between -200 upto - 400. couldnt understand the +0.03 as when engine is off it should only read atmospheric pressure.

Varboy

.03 is such an insignificant value.

My car used to be able to measure the air pressure created by the wind blowing into the intake..

I would say it's nothing to be concerned about.

It's a known fact that paranoia increases in direct proportion to the number of gizmo's, gadgets and gauges one has fitted!
Just checked my AVCR and BP says 00.00 but the PSi3 says 00.2psi (0.01kg/cm)

So true^^^^ damn 'scare dials'

I think they're addictive as well, I haven't got the AVCR fitted to my new car yet and I'm thinking argh, how much boost am I running, is it spiking blah blah blah
