Question Boost gauge is off 3psi than what AEM EMS says???

How come both my boost gauge and my Blitz turbo timer(boost feature) is reading 3 psi off what it says on my AEM EMS?

AEM EMS = 25psi

Stewart Warner Boost gauge = 28psi

Blitz =1.93 bar

The gauges are off.. You should go with what the EMS says is right.. EMS take other factors into consideration.

Most gauges will always read slightly different.

Between my:

1. Defi boost gauge
2. Greddy Profec EBC built in gauge
3. Logging engine load from the AEM EMS

I've seen differences as much as 2psi, with the Defi reading the highest and the Greddy and AEM being within 0.5 psi most of the time.

I have noticed this as well, I would trust what the EMS read out is saying before the gauge...my gauge reads about 1.5 PSI higher then the BCS reads on the AEM.

My AEM 30-4406 boost pressure gauge is 6psi off. I notice it even just switching on (no engine running) and reads "-6" when it should be "0".

Is there a way to correct this?
