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.

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

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.

Default Mine was bad

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.
