Default Defi boost gauge

Hi,
Has anyone found that there defi boost gauge over reads slightly compared to others?
I had an apexi which read 1.5 bar. Changed to defi which rather annoyingly reads 1.7 bar. Is this normall?

Mine over reads by about 0.1 bar. Frankly, I'd rather it over, than UNDER reads

FWIW, I've read from the specialists that the Defi's tend to overread.

That may be.

But I'd prefer spot-on functionality over aesthetics (if you "can't" have both!)

So probably their range of gauges are too(?)
