Default boost gauge problem or turbo proble??

hi guys!! ive heard that the boost gauge when idle should be in the minus or vacuum side!! mine seems to be on zero or just below. the boost gauge came with the car and isnt the best, im getting a new prosport boost gauge next month just in case it is the gauge.

does anybody think its a problem anywhere else i.e the turbo, or could it be just the gauge

i believe the turbo is the standard wrx td04, all tho i was told it had a bigger turbo when i brought the car but i dont believe this cos of a number of reasons..

the turbo seems to boost fine if this helps at all..

thanks sam (2005 wrx)

Depends where its connected too, make sure its actually connected to the right place first!

But it should indeed sit in vacuum while it idles.
