Argh!!
I just got my second gauge (first one RMAed) and this one is off too. It sits at ~3-4 psi when it's off, and I know it's off because my GReddy digital isn't displaying the same thing. I know the GReddy is displaying correctly because it was the right boost when I got my car dynoed.
Somebody is either doing a craptastic job with QC over at Defi Japan, or else the carriers doing the delivery are doing a great job banging these gauges up before they arrive.

Blonde, the boost is a mechanical gauge. You have one too, if I remember correctly? I imagine the ground/illumination wires are solely for lighting the gauge, and not actually affecting the function of the gauge..

i really hope that DEFI will take care of you guys because it shouldn't be this way.

Well, I called up EDO performance, got on the phone with Ben. Since my gauge came reading 3-4psi when I got the box, something must have happened when it shipped over. Damn FEDEX!
He was cool about it, so he's gonna try and see what he can do...

I have the same problem and realized it after i am done with the install.
I thought once I start the car, it would go back to 0 but it never did.
I hope mvp can do something about it because the box is gone already. (trash)
