I think I figured something out. I tried turning on the ignition to force the sweep then pull the key and repeat. The needle slowly edged its way towards being zeroed. After 20-25 attempts I finally got it to match the sweep of the boost gauge and sit at 110* on cold starts. I haven't driven the car yet so it's yet to be determined if it'll continue to be accurate.

Sounds like the needle is slipping. We would be glad to repair it for you. Just send us an email.

There hasn't been an update for a long time, that is partially out of my own personal frustration, and that is not cool, sorry.

This product is all but dead. We worked with an outside engineer on these gauges since our staff is much more mechanical than electrical. This contractor was building the circuit boards for us, he also owned the code that they used because he wrote it. He lost interest in building the boards and has become impossible to communicate with. Every once in awhile I would get some positive communication from him and think we were about to move forward again, and then he would drop off the face of the earth.

I have long held hope that whatever was going on would pass and we could go back into production, but it really does not seem like that is happening.

I am glad to answer any questions as best I can, shoot.

Certainly, we have a LOT of parts that we made...just no circuit boards. We will be glad to fix the needle up.
