Boost Gauge.....acting Up

[FistFull]

My friend and I installed a digital Prosport boost gauge in my S60 T5 and everything has been great but lately its been reading 15+psi when my foot isn't even on the gas.....is the tubing going bad or is my turbo about to die/ blow up/ etc....has this happen to you? Please share..

electronic? make sure that the grounds are good first of all.

i've heard of the digital boost gauges showing vacuum at start up, and it was confused for boost

but if thats not the case, deff go with the post above me

check the grounds and make sure the piping is connected to the correct place

for example, connecting it to the boost sensor line, instead of a tube coming off of the intake manifold like it tells you to do on the box of some boost gauges

+1 on checking the grounds.

If you grounded to a painted surface be sure to sand, scrape (whatever works) the paint so it's a nice metal to metal connection.

it is connected to the intake man. looks like i have to get some new lines and redo it?

its ok to go to the vac tree thats the best spot and on your car there is not line cause you have no guage in the cabin
