hi mate you will only get boost when driving so dont worry about the - figure.

By the sounds of it your WRX maybe mapped hence the 1.0bar (unmapped are less)
(or your gauge is inaccurate/a cheap one)

Get it down to Thwiates Developments (details on our site) for a check over if you are still unsure

Hi chap, I've got the same gauge as yourself on my 54 reg wrx. Mine reads 1 bar at boost but I do have an uprated air filter. Standard you should get between 0.7-0.8 bar although recently in the cold weather mine has been over-boosting to 1.2 eeeeek!
