My boost gauge went out Spent the last couple of hours checking everything with Aipex8 and we can not figure it out. All connections are zip tied and not leaking. Reseated all the electrical connections. I do not need it for tuning so it is not a show stopper I will be leaving really early tomorrow morning.

Also did a few datalogs and the tune is not lean now. I may have the fastest tune of day. Get strapped down. Jeff does a run and says WTF?! I just tuned this hooptie 2 months ago and everything looks the same

This is not my video but this is what the boost gauge is doing with the engine running and turned off.

are your other prosport gauges wired in series with it? and are they fine?

acting like that with engine turned off, i'd say the boost sensor has gone bad. there must be voltage fluctuating in the output signal that is causing it to move around.

It was working fine until this morning. Turned the car on and noticed it jumping around. The other gauges are working just fine and are daisy chained.

i would try unplugging the boost sensor and then reconnecting to see if it just needs a reset. otherwise, looks to be a faulty sensor.

I will give that a try. Maybe the gauge can not zero out for some reason?

Though I must recuse myself from the gambling on guessing of potential outcomes, I might suggest that the spreadsheet be made available in a format other than JPEG so that it can be marked up for some side bets additional datapoints.

Well, obviously, Brett has already done that.
However, he chose to post it as a JPEG.
I demand that he answer for these crimes and be held accountable!
