Boost Gauge Problem.

[Span]

I need the expertise of fellow skyline lovers on this one. i have not long purchased my R33 series 1.5 95' model skizza. has been runnin beautifully and still is. just my boost guage is showing less and less negative boost at idle. i am no mechanic but i believe at idle the needle should be sitting on the lowest neg reading. it is still sitting under the 0 but not by much. any theories or answers guyz? help would be appreciated.

it should sit about 3/4 the way down close to -7. if it is sitting higher check the vac hoses for the boost gauge. should sort out the issues.

mine was doin the same thing and it was my vac hose. didnt have a hole in it but was split at the end and as the split grew the leak got bigger. got to the point where it fell off and had a constant reading of 0. new hose = all good now

I've had the same problem my car was only showing -12psi on idle and was smashing fuel. I found a split hose and replaced it.. now my car sits on around -16to -18 psi (these are once the engine is warm) I think I have an air leak somewhere still, it should be on like -20 yeh??

just check the hoses around your inlet manifold.
