boost guage off?

[03stx]

I think my boost guage is off. I bought an autometer phantom boost guage used and when the truck is off the guage reads 2 in/hg...not 0. I have a 2# lower pulley on and when I go WOT the boost guage reads a little over 8#'s of boost. When i am idle in drive the guage reads 22 in/hg with no a/c and 20 in/hg with a/c on. My stock boost level (which I know isn't usually accurate) reads a little over 10#'s when I go WOT. So all this combined makes me think my gauge is off? any thoughts?

Send it back to Autometer. It is crimped shut and not servicable.

+1 on sending it back. Mine read 5 over and although 20lbs looked cool they were great on exchanging or even refunding.

Will Autometer exchange or refund to a second owner?

Hopefully not, if you buy used you get what you paid forhttp://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_19_1.gif (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxdm824MDUS)

Mines off too I think. I bought mine new. I read 15 in/hg and 9-10lbs of boost, jumps to 13 right b4 it shifts (at like 5000 to 5200)
