I never really noticed that, but I just took a look at one. It goes up in increments of 1.5 psi. Dont know why, but thats all you need to know to read it right.

yea there are only 3 tick marks in between 5,10,15 and so on. Each tick mark is 1.25 psi. Dunno why they did that, but it is annoying. I wish I'd known about it before I got the guage.

I had one in my 03 and it never bothered me. I never spent enough time staring at it while driving under any boost to care if it was 18.75 or 19 psi...but that's just me. I just used it to make sure I wasn't hitting 25 psi and that I was getting normal boost readings. I can see how it could be annoying if you pay a lot of detailed attention to it though.
