AEM Digital Boost Gauge?
Anyone running this gauge? I installed one yesterday along with the UEGO but for some reason the boost gauge doesn't display vacuum with a negative number.
It is pretty annoying to read the gauge under light load and see if I'm 5 under vacuum or 5 boost. Other than that the gauge works great and is working correctly, but idk if I'm gonna keep it if there is no fix for this.

Ya the green marker is green in both 5 vacuum, and 5 boost. And when it's night time, you can't see any of the numbers on the boost gauge, only the digital read out. I guess I can learn to live with it but it seems pretty stupid.

I just checked the AEM forums and there was an update for the truboost controller to show vacuum with a negative number. I'm going to contact AEM tomorrow and see if anything can be done for the standard boost gauge.

Just a heads up to everyone that posted in this thread. I contacted AEM, and they told me they would fix my gauge to show the negative symbol free of charge if I sent it in. So I did just that and am waiting for it to get back to me.
So for any of you who were annoyed by it like I was, I'd suggest calling AEM customer service.

I have a pretty sad update. AEM are complete idiots! I just spent close to 4 weeks without a gauge, got it back and installed it this weekend, and they did absolutely nothing to the gauge!
I called them to ***** somebody out, and the guy I spoke with said adding a "-" to vacuum is not doable with our gauges, and whoever told me it could be changed was wrong. Thank you AEM for wasting my time and shipping money!

also boost doesn't just smoothly go from vac to boost, if the sensor sees any sign of decent throttle pressure it will instantly jump to 0 indicating you're out of in/hg
