Does anyone have one of these. I installed mine on my turbo nytro and works good at 1600 ft but at elevation it reads a vacuum and doesn't read boost right. I'm running 10#s at 1600 then at 9000 it reads -8 at idle then 7#s at full throtle.

Well at 1600 ft it works great. Started the sled when I got to Cooke city and it reads -7 and the outer light goes to the vacuum side at about 7, the higher I get the higher the vacuum at idle of course. At 1600ft it runs 10#s and is reading 7#s at elevation so I'm afraid to turn up the boost with the guage not giving the proper reading.

Don't you have to reset your boost guage for 0 when you change elevations that much? reset it when you go up into those elevations, and then reset it when you come home??

I know the Autometer digital guages have to be powered up before the sled is running so they can autozero the guage, but it sounds as if yours is working right. What turbo kit are you running (boost controller)??

Ok i have mcx kit and my guage powers up after the sled is started not when the key is on or the fuel pump comes on. But i have unpluged the guage when it is running and same old thing.
