My PODI gauge has been acting up on me lately and I wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen to them and if they resolved it.
Lately I have been noticing that my gauge is reading high under no throttle and under small amounts of boost. For example while rolling with 0 throttle my gauge will show anywhere from 0 psi to -15 inHg instead of the -22 inHg it should show. This will happen for a while and then it will start working normally again. When this does happen it shows I am under boost under the slightest amount of throttle (obviously more so the closer to 0 psi the gauge is sitting at) when I know I am not. When the gauge reads 0 psi under no throttle, the slightest amount of throttle will raise it to 5 psi when I can clearly tell that the turbo isn't running that. The weird thing is that it still won't show more than 17-18 psi (which what I am supposed to be running). It just basically gets there a lot quicker then it should.
I am going to try and switch out the filter and grab some new boost hose and see if it helps but I thought I would ask to see if anyone else has experienced this.
