i said screw dealership. i told the service manager that my boost gauge is broken and he told me that its impossible and then he called it a booster. what a moron.
lol, I just sold a shiz load of digital boost gauges because the stock one is such a turd. Got about 20 more incoming to me, so hopefully it keeps up like that
Had my stock gauge for about 40k miles without one issue until I hit a bump in the road and the needle jumped off. Mailed the gauge to Auto Meter for repair and they sent me a brand spankin new one.
Mine was off from day one, by any where from 3 to 7 psi, never seemed to be consistent, and i have 4 ways in all to monitor boost, 3 are dead on with each other. Bought a 30psi Ultra lite one and it is dead on. Stock sucks.

"The Cobalt firmly grabs you and whisks you along your way instantly. It does so with authority and poise, but while slipping relatively unnoticed through traffic, never being violent, or dare I say it, frightening. When you ask the SRT-4 to take you somewhere fast, it punches you in the face, throws you over its shoulder, and runs, screaming, so quickly that its tires can barely keep up."

had to vent that. i got a different one.
damn that makes me seriouslly LOL
I'm at 10,000 miles, my stock gauge still works as far as I know. It's at 0 when the car is off.
Under 1500 miles and my gauge broke a few hundred ago. Haven't gotten it fixed yet, might just replace it with a new one. Don't want to deal with going to the dealer every few hundred miles because of a broken gauge
my boost gauge has been broken since i had it, it stays at 20 vac wen i start the car, when i accelerate it goes toward zero into boost range put never passes zero. at wot it is at zero. then shut the car off and it stays at 20 vac. any1 know whats wrong with my gauge?
I think mine is/has takin a shit. It's at 2vac. when the cars off, and when shifting it falls to like 23vac. , and boost is holding at 9psi. I think it's 2psi off, but I'd like to have a accurate reading. Can somebody put up a linky to a good vendor, that has the 30/30 srt gauge? I'd like to get it warrantied,but I'm afraid they will hear my exhaust(3" needswings dp), and welp there goes warranty. After a week of putting the dp on this happens. I hope there isn't a correalation between the two.

Mine was broken when I bought the car used a few months ago. It had around 25,000 miles on it. Dodge fixed it under warranty. I am not a big fan of Autometer products. I had their gauges in my old 2000 Neon and they fogged up all the time. I live about an hour from the Autometer plant so I drove there and they exchanged it. The one they gave me did the same thing. Their low end gauges are cheap so you get what you pay for. In my old WRX I went with 2 Greddy gauges and they were incredible. Very, very good quality and readings. Not cheap but a great gauge.
