note the power up instructions.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
The
mechanical gauges (like I have for boost/vacuum) should read ZERO when off. Yes, the electric ones go well below the low mark when off. But I'm talking about the mech. ones. It just doesn't hold adjustment well at all. I mean, 5 minutes after I "fixed" it and put it back in the car, it started reading low (as opposed to high, like it did before...)
