Consider yourself lucky--I replaced mine after 3 months with a 35 PSI autometer gauge. Mine was at -8 PSI when off...most of the stock gauges have problems. Dodge was willing to fix it, but I already bought one that is a boost only gauge (no vacuum). No problems with this one :D

<~~~Broken boost gauge since the day I rolled my car off the lot. Had it replaced 4 times...Then went and bought a 30/30 Autometer Gauge and now that crapped out on me too. I'm just gonna give up and guess what my boost is from now on.

I hate autometer gauges lately...I'm going with a different company when my turbo shit gets installed

great this gives me something to look forward to!! apparently when dodge used to make the daytona they made a turbo one as well and that gauge crapped out a lot too.

The biggest problem with these gauges are they are mechanical gauges. Even if you buy the 30/30 mechanical gauge, you may run into the same problme (as you have munkysrt).

Save a little extra cash and opt for the electrical boost gauge and you should never have a problem.

That's what I originally wanted to do but at the time I was running more boost than the stock gauge would show me so I needed a quick fix so to speak. I didn't think it would crap out on me this soon tho. Oh well live and learn...Hey Hozay whats up with your companies site...I'm looking for a turbo kit and supporting mods and your site is down?!?

Got a number I can call to speak to someone...I'll be ready to order either Monday or Tuesday right after xmas. PM me please. Thank. Jay
