Really messed up at that. Get a new one. They aren't very expensive. Mine was about $50 or so at Autozone. They special ordered the Z-series to match the black interior. I'll take a pic sometime. Your idle btw should be between -15 to -20 in hg. Full boost, 18-19 psi. Autometers can be off by 0.5-1 psi, but yours is off by a LOT.

same thing with mine, i posted about it like a week ago.
mine reads 5inHg when the car is off. when its on it reads 20inHg which is correct. but its wrong with the boost i guess. i can hear my turbo spooling a good bit and it still shows its in vac, plus im boosting 21psi and it only goes to 17psi. so mines broke too, but i was told to call the company and maybe they'll replace it idk
actually on the other hand idk what the hells wrong with it, cuz i turned the boost all the way down and it still read 11-12 psi which it should so idk wats up......... except that its def broke
