    What engine are you running?

    That gauge measures Boost and Vacuum. If you have a Turbo Diesel then there is No Vacuum and it should never go into the "Negative"

    I run a boost gauge that measures in PSI and then you can make sense of what guys are talking about when they talk 12psi or 15psi of boost. Running a gauge that measures in Bar is fine as long as you understand the conversion table. Look it up on the net and using a conversion table you should find where your at.

    If you can afford it i would be ditching the Bar gauge and running a psi gauge. If you have a diesel then a psi gauge that runs boost only from zero to 30psi would be a winner. If you have a Petrol then you do need a Boost Vacuum gauge but i would still be moving to a psi gauge for ease of use.

    my 2c, cheers
