Weird Boost Gauge Issue

[barnoon]

Hi guys,

I'm not really sure of which section to put this in so if this is the wrong spot then please move it.

The issue i'm having is that the needle on my boost gauge seems to of somehow wound itself all the way around and it is now stuck behind the little black stopper you can see in the pic. When I turn the car on I can see the needle trying to move but its stuck behind the black thing so it cant go anywhere.

I have taken the boost gauge out to see if I could somehow wind it back around myself but I cant see a way to do it, ive checked all the wiring / lines and they are all in there right spot.

Does anyone have any idea what would of caused this? the digital boost readout on my turbo timer reads out as normal just the GReddy gauge is stuck for some reason.

Attached pic is of my actual boost gauge when its sitting in the normal spot I don't have a pic now that its stuffed but now it just sits on the right side of the black stopper stuck there.

I should also mention that I just changed from a high flow turbo back to a standard one when this problem came up but not sure if thats related in any way.

thanks

hahaha that's weird

when the car is off, the needle should sit at 0. so i cant imagine how it got behind the stopper.

and if these are like most other gauges, theyre not meant to be opened, so there wont be easy access to get to the needle.

i doubt its anything you did that caused this. maybe the needle isnt sitting in its base properly, its loose?, and thats how it got down there. who knows. you'd have to try and open it i guess.

Well my laptop did flash up DANGER TO MANIFOLD and then my floor pan fell out then I noticed the boost gauge was going crazy.

Ok Fast and Furious jokes aside, I attempted to open it up again lastnight but theres no way you can open it to touch the needle, and the needle and stopper are both tight, so to get there it definately somehow wound itself all the way around.

Im sure ill get to the bottom of this mystery oneday!

Update:

well it has started working again all by it self (Weird) but now it doesnt light up at night when I put the headlights on

this boost gauge really hates me
