I have an AUTOMETER boost / vaccum gage till 6 months. I have install my BLITZ SBC-ID boost controller last week. Till i use my blitz , i can read my boost in PSI directly in the EBC screen so i havent look my autometer gage till a week.
Today i have boost at 9 PSI on my blitz and i have take a look over my AUTOMETER gage and the gage only read stock boost setting (6 PSI) and doesn t go over that value... I m pretty sure that the blitz read the correct PSI because my car pull a way more than the stock boost settings and it s impossible that i was driving at 6 PSI...

Anyone have an idea ???

Thanks for your help !!!

They are highly inaccurate. Mine didn't even read 0, it was off by 2psi.

Mine sat at 1 since I got it, but I sent it it back and they sent me a new one.

Seems okay now though. I'm at about 6.5 PSI stock.

Its not because Autometer sucks, its because you have it spliced on the same line as your boost controller; switch the autometer to a different vaccum line and you will be fine.

I took french in high school for three years, and now one year later I can't remember any of it. Your english is good enough for us to read. don't worry about it.
